I heard that some of the market maker´s computers didn´t get fixed for the Y2K bug properlly and as a result they´re making the prices of stocks move exactly in the same way they did in 1906, adjusted to inflation, the price of oil, gold and of course the construction of the hoover damn... so...

go pawtucket:confused:

I´ve always been too loose on the gramar to lose track of a conversation about it...

I agree with you... i wonder if the guys at HO hire software developers on the same grounds as trader... get ppl off the street no previous programing knowlegde requiered, tell em how to compile and 6 months later... eureka! we got new software!

great post John, what branches do you own/manage?

Szeven Why do you think the rebate game JDSU/SUNW/SIRI is dying? I actually find it quite similar to playing nyfix, similar skills are needed for both kinds of trading... They even mention last week on the conf call that we where going to get rebates on NYSE stocks through INET rash, so...

I think what sets apart one BM from another is being able to tell who´s gonna make it and who won´t in the least time. ohh yeah, and when I grow up I wanna be like sammy...

they tend to grow smaller as you increase volume.

Personally I hate the lack of a level 2 screen... I need to know how many contract I can buy at a price without moving it... or how many prices I´ll have to eat if I was to take out my whole position at once.

GGL, now that´s fun...

I prefer this Boca http://www.geographia.com/argentina/buenosaires/exploring.htm few women are as beautifull as argentinans... and the food... is sooo delicious...

SunTzu said. III.18. Hence the saying: If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb...

The first time I went live in the market {it was GE I think...} It took me a whole 14 minutes to lose the $20 I had as my stop loss for the day... something like 5 trades. Now that was fun! That was just two short years ago... or less. In that time I traded the CME, NASDAQ, LSE, NYSE...

that´s not true bro. Lots of people crash because someone else is a bad driver. {think about it, bad drivers have to crash against someone... and they usually dont wait to find another bad driver} There´s a ton of different outcomes from crashing your car... from fixing a dent in your bumper...
