    Far prints on low volume

    yeah I don't follow him much either but someone emailed me about it, Gilder supposedly mentioned it because of the Metcalfe connection. If the little company "makes it", it could do really well. They have a ton of video conferencing patents apparently. Its was up what 17% again Friday...

    Far prints on low volume

    That stock was super, I mean SUPER thin until just very recently. My guess is no market maker really has much inventory so it can get pushed around a lot if there is news or a buy/sell imbalance. If it is trading a lot of shares at one level it might just be that one market maker has called...

    Northwest Trading

    Make sure there is no minium share size. What I mean is they might give you 7 dollar commissions on 1000 lots or whatever but they will write into the contract that the minium "ticket charge" is 4-5 bucks on all trades under 500 shares or something. In otherwords if you partial out of...

    Zone Trading - Austin TX

    It has been related to me by a trader that my assumption was incorrect, there that is hardly anyone from the old PT office is at Zone Trading, the former Partner is the owner but apparently about everyone that is left of the old office that I visited a few times is still at the old location...

    Zone Trading - Austin TX

    Yeah your probably right. I guess its a fine line between the two for some. Back in the heyday of day trading (1999-2000), when I was at Protrader it was almost a right of passage to take a week and make a pilmagrage of sorts the Austin Protrader office (what is left is basically "Zone...

    Zone Trading - Austin TX

    How about providing a bit more "color" than that blanket statement if you think its a great company. i.e. why do you think its a great company? how was the training? what is your payout, comission rate, software, etc. Thanks.

    WHats going on with Andover?

    Well, Size and Volume are two different things. If someone is trading size (5,000 shares or bigger) then they would normally be experienced, and likely focused, etc. If someone is trading 100,000 shares a day or more, same thing, likely they have built up to that and know what they are doing...

    WHats going on with Andover?

    A "piker" in the context of trading, doesn't have anything to do with volume. Bad trading....yeah maybe, but for the most part, The best definition of a piker is a trader that gives mininum effort, or thinks they know more or trade better than they actually do. Or occassionally they may just...

    Does anyone else find this scary?

    I'll play devils advocate here and take up for J.C. :D My comments in Caps. "Re: Does anyone else find this scary?" NO. DO YOU KNOW WHAT "FIX" MEANS IN THAT CONTEXT? THAT IS HAVE YOU EVER LISTEND TO HIS SHOW OR BOTHERED TO READ HIS ARTICLES. FIX NORMALLY REFERS TO HIM TELLING...

    WHats going on with Andover?

    Andover is big on the "recurring revenue model". That is essentially what clearing amounts to, so why would they get rid of that, becuase of shrinking margins? LOL. It was those guys that pressured the margins so much to begin with. IMO there is little chance Sungard drops Andover/Assent...

    MSFT finally gonna put their Billions in cash to work?

    Google is somewhat different from everyone else in the search biz in that they don't sell page rank. They put the paid stuff off to the side. A lot of the other search engines insert the stuff into the "results" and you never really know if your clicking on something really relevant or...
