    Gary B Smith of Realmoney.com

    Same here, I was impressed that he actually wrote back. I wonder if he still is as nice with his popularity. You can also watch him Saturday Mornings on Bulls and Bears on Fox News at either 9 or 10am I forget. I got Tivo recording it.

    capital gains tax vs "taxable income"

    They're both taxable, it's the treatment for other tax items that's different. The difference between taxable and Capital Gains income is you don't have to pay self employment tax on Capital Gains. Also if you have long term Cap gains, you only pay 20% tax rather then the highest bracket % you...

    trend or counter-trend?

    Majority of the time you want to stay with the trend cause it's less hazardous to your P&L. But there are always stocks moving against the market. If you can identify them, and figure out which setup is the best to trade those stocks counter trend, then I see no problem with it. I do it all...

    Andover Takeover

    Stop by, it would be nice to meet you. We're still making money, so life is good. It would be nice if the market would get out of this rut, so we can make more. All will agree with that latter statement.

    Instinet rumored to be in merger talks with Goldman

    The whole industry is looking to consolidate. Alone they aren't as competitive as they are combined. The bigger the firm, the lower the rates they can offer, since they combine their shares to get discounts from ECN's they don't own, and could offer cheaper rates through the one's they do own...

    Andover Takeover

    RTharp, let me clear a few things up for you. The sad part is everyone is accusing me of having an agenda against Andover. What you don't know, is I've actually recommended your office to people in Socal that have sent resumes to us for interviews. Why, cause I like Lynx and have nothing...

    Once again, for those Andover traders, I AM UPDATING THE BOARD ON NEW NEWS THAT CAME UP ABOUT THE BUYOUT. I didn't start the original board, someone else did.

    Andover Takeover

    Why was it false? Sungard didn't want the day trading side of the business, they wanted the self clearing and technology. Sungard would've either sold the business to another firm, or just shut it down. But that really doesn't matter cause they are not buying, so it's irrelevant. So why...

    Andover Takeover

    Thank you. Someone actually read the post and somehow didn't think I was comparing Andover to HB. Actually by posting, I'm probably advertising out the Andover name, so more people see it, and inquire about their trading groups. And by trying to knock me down, the negative posters are...

    Andover Takeover

    What isn't true? I'm not trying to force a mass exodus here. I'm just trying to update the Elite Members on new info that has come out about the buy out. Cause I run a firm I can't post information relevant to the industry? What is this Congress? You pick and choose what I say and try to...

    Andover Takeover

    I worked and trained for Andover for a year. To clear things up further, I run a firm that clears through Hold. The post is in responce to a thread that was closed until further information was known. I just got the info and thought that the Andover traders would be relieved, considering...

    Just wanted to let you guys know that Sungard pulled the plug on the buyout. It seems they uncovered something they didn't like during the due diligence. What that was, I don't know and neither did my source. Anything on the reason would be speculation on my part. Hope this helps.
