    "Paying for Liquidity"

    I sometimes strictly trade on rebates, and believe me the rebates could amass a couple of thousand dollars in a day. Apply that to very low if any commission and you have an extremely profitable day/month/year.

    Hey Listed Traders!!!

    I will agree with the fact that 4 letter symbols trade nicely, for me. First establish a set strategy and style then choose which stocks you will trade aggressively and CAPITALIZE !!!

There are a few hundred thousand of us out there and the competition is just as stiff as a high school kid at the local deli. I think you should step back and look at what you are saying and relate...
