I am not disrespecting anyone. Anything is possible, that is all that I am saying. Do I agree that market conditions are tough? heck yeah, but I also know that there will always be opportunities. You can make the same statements about anything in life...things are tough, and the success...

Yeah, I am curious as well...how does trading through Bloomberg work?

I had a real hard time trading for the first half hour today. Having no idea where the market is on a volatile morning can be very costly. I really hope this does not keep up because as everyone has said, it has been very bad the past month or so on high volume days.
