Let's see, $116.13 at 11 AM and closed at $116.16. Whoa. Number of new NYSE highs was 57. Double whoa. But tommorw's another day!

This thread is getting comical. And....it would take too much typing to address the bastardization. Futures markets are mutually exclusive from the underlying stock. Correlated but distinct. Ditto for foreign bourses, regional exchanges and ECN's. The opening is the ONE price that ALL...

Sure it did. As for today, it's almost all GAP. as I write, SPY opened at 115.87 and presently is 116.13. That's thee.........eh........specialists in 500 stocks moving away from their long basis aquired wholesale on Thursday and Friday. Until SPY trades above 122.12, merely re-tracing...

No, I just troll around message boards because A. I have no life B. I need some kind of outlet for human interaction because I'm fat, bald, have a bad case of acne, and stutter when I speak. In essence, no one (other than transients) will have much of anything to do with me. Oh yeah, the...

You may have found the 2008 a snap right back, and for real, but I lost a fair anount of money on that Lehman slide. I was green today. Big difference. Enough to buy a car.

1. Just WHO are the real liquidity providers? Pssst, ask clubber. 2. Greedy exchanges?????? It's just a forum where they sell seats and provide posts. And clearing. 3. System broken? Let's blame it on a squirrel. Oh, that's already been used.

You're right, it isn't me. It's.............thee............specialist (or market maker as the case may be).

You don't even know WHO you trade against, fuckhead. Yep, specialst/ market maker. That's who determines price. Limit orders (that fill) may offset but ............ALL market orders go to him. Every single one is filled out of inventory or....... aquired for inventory. Period. He's the...

I'm finding Larry's remarks hard to believe. I don't know what Euronext is. No investors willing to match? Probably true. Specialists' duty to offset them. For a transaction/fill to occur, there has to be another party. Period. But hey, let's blame it on the black box boogy man. It's...

Try this: Alot of munchkins out there view the specialist as some kind of clerk, there as a public service, to maintain a fair and orderly market; and, due to decimalization, ecn's, etc, is near extinction. He's the man that opens the stock. Call that latitude. I'm going to suggest the...

And WHICH camp do YOU fall into?

What's obvious about it? It was reverse spilt for a reason. There's always somebody on the other side of the trade. Average volume is 15 million PER day. There's a distinction between a company and it's paper.

Yep, poker players play with their cards face out. They're also apt to give gifts because, as a group, they're quite benevolent. At best, good 'ol Jim would be front-running. Hmmm, JPM is the one that "hasn't" fallen. Dare I say yet? Largest derivative posture. I wuv playing...

Bear market? Aren't you a little pre-mature (among other adjectives)? Eh, Google isn't "the market" Neither is Buy doo. Didn't you use the word "market"? Funny how you little munchkins dwell on one minute bars then POOF switch to point & figure. KID of the street? Uh huh.

Yes, yes, he lost a fair chuck in equites, but he wasn't a pool operator and his intial job was in grains, 1893 I believe. In Canada. He's the one that cleaned Livermore's clock in wheat.

Hmmm, musta been brought up cuz it's up in a down market. My parent's cat is captitvated by shiney things. Earnings? LOL PFE is a ho hum defensive stock. A place to hide when the going gets tufff. Wyeth? Research? It was the former American Home Products. Can you say Suzie...

Comes out of nowhere, doesn't it? Specialists gapped most stocks this morning. Take your pick on alibis. Greece, oil spills, etc. Neither has much genuine bearing on most stocks. Actually, SPY broke trend April 27th. Net advance/ decline line hasn't "advanced" since April 23rd...

Not entirely pointless. It's human nature to blame someone other than one's self. Scapegoating. Federal Reserve's original mandate was 1. Stable prices. 2. Full employment. To more or less buffer the booms and busts. 1907 and 1873 come to mind. Have "they" succeeded? I use...

You seem to be disregarding the underlying stock. Scant trend. What trend that's there is negative. Only above $60 for a short time (repelled) and never at $65, making the long leg ......eh........dubious, yet alone with a May expiration. I'm too lazy to look and see IF the open...

Leverage is a tool. Like a hammer, you can drive nails or..............smash your finger. If you're over-trading, taking on sub-optimal positions, then leverage is probably not the best of ideas. Constraining yourself to cash will force you to be more selective and paitient.
