I know climbing is a great sport, I have respect for climbers but no sport, except maybe gymnastics/acrobatics, can be generalized to be the best. Do whatever you enjoy, whatever makes you feel like you're having fun instead of exercising. For me it's boxing/kickboxing/martials arts which is...

Great discussion. I just want to interject some things. I do not own a car and have not for years. Do not miss it at all, driving on the N-East Coast BLOWS. These gas prices do not affect me and when people ask me why do I pay the Manhattan rent, well I do not throw away thousands of...

Funny, Everyone thinks oil is going higher Everyone thinks there is a shortage of oil and it's becoming scarce Remind you of anything? Whats the last time everyone was right?

I don't use it since Carlin does not support it nowhere as well as they support Carlin trader but it is very similiar to Hammer. Most platforms are very similiar to each other nowdays.

Very old pump & dump, it was hot like a year and half ago. I bought it at .004 and did not get out at 3 cents. Took like a 25% gain but did not realize that it was a pump & dump, thought it might actually last as an investment.

You're right and I've actually been learning the sector plays lately, had some luck in steel last week. It's just that this month just left me a little sore from the NYSE crew. And no flowers either, :mad:

I only used one market order for a measly 100 shares and got a very special fill where I was instantly 20 cents out of the money. After that I tried to NX and cross limit the bottoms but never got filled. The one trade I did pull off, I hit the ECNs both times for a quick 50 cent trade...

Should have, would have. Do not discount the absurd spreads, price disimprovement and inability to get filled properly. Position trading was the way to go on this but how in the world does anyone figure that out early in the morning, especially when the specialist pulls out the bottom every...

NYSE does the same exact thing and has done it for a while. Slow sell & buy orders dont run around flashing obvious 10k, they often show little lots like Nasdaq. A lot of these orders are done electronically through Open Book and even ECNs, particularly Arca. Reading the tape does not mean...

HC is decent, it trades thick and has a lot of computer trading done through the NYOB. These types of listed, and I trade them often, seem to be executed mostly electronically. I go to these stocks when I need to cut my "specialist risk". As for "daytrader" label I know for a fact that it...

Maybe so, that is what I was taught when I was at Merrill's 5th Ave office and by trader who was at a top brokerage firm for years. Whether it is done or not, I've watched FMD go through the process right before the big plunge. The IPO process was more common before the tech bust, that was...

First of all, which stock was it. If you are talking about a very high volume or thick stock that is overrun by programs, that's one story. Unless there is major news or action, you will see little specialist effect. Second of all, why would any of these maggots ever show you how they...

You need to brush up on your knowledge how the markets work. Window dressing is when mutual funds start buying stocks that they have large positions in for the sole purpose of giving it a higher closing price at the end of the month, hence reporting good returns. The trick is that it is done...

I would rather have him be a total a$$hole in person and do his job properly instead screwing day traders all day long. Really, these maggots put on such a facade as the abuses increase by the day. Recently found it that these parasites have a program on their computer that counts up day...

You might wanna look up window dressing done by almost every mutual fund in the country.

Welcome to the market.

Here is a dose of reality. Stick with the penny scalping for now, you have minimal experience and really have zero idea about the true nature of scalping. You will get torn apart in futures. There are no innefficencies of multiple routes and rebates like on the NYSE penny stocks. Yeah I'm...

Please note that the FDA is very corrupt and controlled by corporate interests. If this organization had any righteous motives, fast food would be regulated and pharmaceutical drugs would be highly scrutinized being that they are man made chemicals that never mix well with the human system...

I think you make a great point. I would not start buying Merck till $25. I can easily see it fall to $20 as well. Beyond that, I dunno, I put more faith into the BS "health" aspect of the pharmaceuticals rather than the cancer of tobacco. It really depends on whether they will stick with the...
