BDK = Stay Away for next few days. Trying to get filled been getting harder these last few days.

How does one determine which Hard Drive is the best in terms of noise reduction ? Is it by brand, Maxtor, Samsung, Seagate, Western Digital, where one brand is more quiet than another or is it by model where brand name doesn't matter but the model number of the brand is the where one should...

SFA = Stay Away Specialist moves the price around erratically to his advantage. Not an orderly market.

SII = Stay Away if you are not comfortable trading against the specialist. Seems to be a lot of Principal Trading going on here today. Maybe the specialist is doing his negative obligation because he cannot match buying/selling orders. Can't tell for sure, but count on the specialist being...

SINA & SOHU

Ebo, I don't understand what you are trying to say. I see in today's other posting "Tradestation -- slow" thread, http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=355229#post355229, that you are using TradeStation. Are you saying SINA and SOHU are not borrowable today ? In my...

Posting Test

hrrr, it was fun shorting the heck out of SOHU & SINA today. Thx for the recommendation, guys :D

I think the Bad Specialist are getting nervous about this thread. They are afraid of being mentioned here and getting blacklisted. :) Let keep this thread lean with posting on just specialist rating and not post news article or a debate on the merit of having a specialist system...

DNA = Stay Away just for today. Don't know if the regular Specialist is taking a long Columbus weekend but DNA trading is hard today. Hard to get filled. Can't hit the bid without requoting. Specialist is timid today.

Good idea, maybe someone should start a thread that rates specialist like: NOK = Excellent FS = Stay Away ET members can contribute to the list as we go along.

This post is not aimed at disparaging Ameritrade, IB or Tradestation. No flame war plz. I am only trying to find out if anyone knows for sure if their brokerage firm currently allows them to short NTES online. I looked at SSF to see if it can be an alternative but found out most of the...
