7. How many days did NASD ask public opionions on the PDT rule proposal? A: Less than a week.

I cannot help commenting on this. Tech, do you know by using the word 'bitching' you are insulting all the people take their time to post their thoughts, experience, and etc. on this board? More important it is insulting people who are telling the truth. IMO, you should go home and b*tch...

More evidence that these investment firms operate for their profits at the cost of their customers. More evidence that the industry is getting more and more desperate. As for traders here, do not miss this opportunity to get incorporated. Where should I forward my resume and trading records...

And I am not intending to do that in near future. :p

I'd also like to point out if adding to losing is part of your strategy. Say you are a 10-lot trader and your plan is to buy 5 2-lot at different prices, then it is not called adding to losing position. But when you have 10 lots in hand and want to add more, it is adding up now. :p

Thanks for the suggestions. I was trading only major indices. Right now, I have no capability to interpret and switch fast enough. Anyway, this is a technical problem not a psychological one. Lucky enough, I didn't loss today but get hammed psychologically. :p

Wrong, psychologically. That is greedy. How can you want to gain double when you actually are losing? If your decision to add is right, your original position will recover the loss. If you are further wrong, you double the loss. What do you want to choose? I guess we'd better not be greedy. You...

security hazard. :p

Manipulation. When manipulators were error at close, they would reverse at the open. When they were right, it will be one-way. So when you are with the will of manipulators, let the gain grow. When you are against the will of manipulators, cut loss short. Overall if you are an outsider, you...

And expiration manipulators.

No, it's low volume. Technically these are buyers. fundamentally, they are thin-volume manipulators. :p

Don't get me wrong. I didn't lose, but was stopped out with outragous little profit. And that's means I have to stop today to avoid potential loss. Shoot. :p

I wonder manipulators have sophisticated machanisms to coordinate the operations, like those crocks did in enengery trading. In fact these are the same kind of crocks. :p

How do manipulators quickly reverse a -70+ loss when a Dow component (MCD) down 1.2+ over 15%?

I am taking off today. Good luck to you. :p

5. Why do some people support the PDT rules? Besides those who benefit directly from the PDT rule, there are however some people support the PDT rules. They are not beneficiary, at least not directly. They merely want to see small investors screwed. That's there key edge to be successful in...
