I've never been a big fan of specialist behavior as a daytrader, but neither would I 'eliminate' the specialist system. If dealing with specialists bothers you so much (on those occasions that your order is not matched electronically), you certainly are not prohibited from trading NASDAQ...

i found the member, specialist, and public info on the Barron's Market Lab pages to be a useful indicator, in conjunction with the chart, VIX, other markets, and other info that seemed to be affecting the market at the moment. As the pertinent data was released two weeks later than when it...

agreed. they also sell under the table.... and one of the world's largest exporter (russia) isn't an opec member.

Dow 4200 in two years.

a few months ago I was in the office of the treasurer of a very large company--the largest of its kind in the world. he had three screens on his desk: two were his bloomy quote machine and the other was a tv tuned to cnbc.

WSJ used to be the paper for the Trade (Wall Street), IBD seemed to be aimed at Investors (Main St.).
