These are great numbers all around except for Ipod sales. For once they guided higher than the street for the next quarter instead of low balling.

It is disappointing to see that esignal still does not integrate all ECN books and MMs in one screen.

Not too many would want to dabble in goog with its lofty price. Not that aapl is cheap but is more tradeable comparatively speaking.

Your gains and losses will be small then?

I'll guarantee one thing. Whichever direction the stock moves, if and when you get in it will reverse and go the opposite direction, since the same thieves are sitting on the bid and the ask. You may get away with 100 shares but try 1000 and they've got you by the balls. They'll keep moving in...

True. They do this every quarter but lo and behold the street (I call them the manipulators) ignore the low estimates and go by the blow out numbers achieved due to the low estimates given in the prior quarter. Then some flimsy excuses are given for the stock going up like Mac sales were better...

The stock market is rigged. Consider the following: A select few can take stocks wherever they want them to go, Keep them at a certain level for as long as they wish, take them up and bring them down at will. The SEC is a corrupt organization which is apathetic to the trader's problems...

If there is a seller for 60,000 shares a/h, it must be a Market Maker? The price of the stock is in the $40-$45 range

Good performance notwithstanding the large drawdowns.

very familiar.

What do you mean exactly?

With this integration, Cybertrader is aligning itself with firms like scottrade, TD Ameritrade etc. Not a good omen for the trading fraternity. Keep in mind that they have UBSS, probably the most active MM in Nasdaq stocks and they also have MMs for NYSE stocks. Not a healthy environment at all...

Call me whatever you want options trader. All I can say is "Been there, done that" and ate crow notwithstanding any and all permutations and combinations. Mind you I'm strictly confining myself to stocks here and not any other instrument.

do I'll try my best to explain though I doubt it will make any impact on you. Stocks do go down in price. The only ones making money are MMs and institutions. They will shake out every single retail short before taking the price down. If a retail short jumps in they will shake him/her out...

Your chart does not prove anything. No need to disclose my trading credenitials to anybody.

Don't give me hypothetical examples. Show me actual trading records. As for what Neke said, my reply to his post is self-explanatory.

I'll also add that the "few days" can turn into months resulting in large losses for the short seller if he stubbornly refuses to cover his short sale.

Go back and re-read my post. I said " a few days". Definitely not the same as an intra-day or overnight hold. Do what I said and then come back and start flaming me again.

I'll add the following: The owner is an institution read MM. The clearing houses borrow from them. Therefore it is a lose-lose situation for the short seller. You can rest assured that the price will not drop below the price paid by the short seller. I've mentioned this before and I'll...

Direct access firms make money strictly through commissions and supposedly do not take payment for order flow. Also you control order routing again supposedly.
