That happened to me on RMCF a couple of weeks ago. It usually has a bid/ask spread of .15-.20. When the spread closed to .08 or .09 and I entered a sell order at offer, the bid disappeared. That time the stock sold off so I did not get filled. Maybe I need to rethink trading these thin stocks!

Thanks - a new on on me. I will rethink my order entry methods. :)

Today I think I confirmed my earlier suspicions that we are trading against a computer - not a person. Late in the day I entered an order to sell 200 RMCF at 14.80. Level 2 showed best bid ARCAEX 300 @ 14.68 - ask ARCAEX 300 @ 14.83. Immediately, I mean immediately, after my 14.80 offer...

Have really enjoyed this journal. A couple of Q's if you do not mind disclosing source. One post referred to knowing where instutional buy orders lay. Is this just your gut feel based on the tape? Also, another post stated you will buy more if stock comes down to area near instutional...

Here are the twelve cartoons http://blog.newspaperindex.com/2005/12/10/un-to-investigate-jyllands-posten-racism/ This came from a muslim writer http://www.muslimwakeup.com/main/archives/2006/01/a_mountain_out.php

CW Have you been drinking again?

Mav, it's my bedtime here so I need to sleep on this. I just cannot believe that mm's are that ready to go long or short stock to protect a few bucks premium on their option sales. You speak of 'arbs'. Look at the recent post from diz. He was going to sell GOOG feb 430 calls for $5.00...

Mav, I have agreed with all your posts so far. But this one seems too 'set in stone'. Isn't it true that mm's, since they are also selling 'premium', can also offset retail call buying with some put sales thereby gaining more premium. These put sales could then be offset by shorting...

RSAS trade today was similar to the action suggested by Mav for GOOG for tomorrow. Earns came last night - I was long calls/short stock on a 2-1 ratio. I was absoultely positive (you know where this gets you) that the stock would continue to sell off after the expected lower open (based on...

It is Sunday Morning here and I just had one of the best laughs of my life. Thank you!!!!

I had no idea you would have spent this much time to answer my Q. Thank you. I really do appreciate it! I think I like your # 4 best. It is true, this stock really moves. Both up and down. Last week I bot and sold the Feb 100 calls for a nice profit. So, I will wait to see how it acts on...

Back on Thread. Here is one I use - Usually gives way too many stocks on any screen - you have to set tight parameters http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/controls/finderpro.asp

I have been playing ITT options for the last couple of months. I have done quit well, until Friday. Just b4 the close on Friday I bot some March 105 calls @ 2.45 thinking the stock would close in the upper 102's. It didn't. So..I now am thinking it may breach the lower end of a large flag...

Care to comment on HUM in light of last two days? Do you still think it will fill the gap from below $50 from mid December?

Since I have not done real well these past two years, and since you, and others, have posted excellent returns, I am considering putting some of my funds elsewhere. I would not have anybody who was not registered as an investment advisor manage any of my money.

Brandon. When I went on the sec.gov website I could only find an advisor with the name Brandon in either CA or TN. Since your profile shows you in FL I assume these are not you. Can you give me your firm name or a link to your Your SEC Form ADV...
