    Don and Mav, Part Deux! (Live Chat)

    When you are forced to attack the messenger, you have lost the argument. That's the take away here. Maverick had a problem with another trader implementing a very large, unleveraged trade that made 30 mm or so, and offered a risk reward ratio, on average, of greater then 2:1. I love...

    Don and Mav, Part Deux! (Live Chat)

    Your post said he was short GM, there is a big difference between being long and short, wouldn't you agree? Lose the attitude, please, don't talk down to me....I won't take your shit. BTW...I know you have short term memory problems...so I'll remind you, our initial conversation was about...

    Don and Mav, Part Deux! (Live Chat)

    Seems to me, you might be the critic who can't handle the criticism back. Between my conversations with you and reading your posts, it seems that anyone else who makes money in any other way then you see as a "viable" way to make money, is wrong, and won't be able to sustain it going...

    Don and Mav, Part Deux! (Live Chat)

    Here's a guy taking "extreme issue" with someone else's trade telling me to "cool it on the rhetoric!" Last I checked....my first amendment rights were still intact, too. As I said, the trade fits him perfectly. Doesn't mean it's right for you, me, or anyone else. Whether you like it...

    Don and Mav, Part Deux! (Live Chat)

    You have got to be kidding me, you take "extreme issue" with someone else's homerun? Who are you to take issue with any one elses trading, especially a successful trader? That was and still remains a great trade, one that only Bob and the Specialist got right! Just because it doesn't fit...

    Is the specialist screwd up or it is normal business at NYSE?

    I ran into that problem once before....you only run into a problem if it opens at your price. If it opens through your price, you have a pretty good case to get the fill, assuming your order was in at least a few minutes prior to the stock opening. BTW, that is very powerful trading...

    Is the specialist screwd up or it is normal business at NYSE?

    Short orders are the last in the queue to fill on the open. The stock would have had to trade through your price to get that fill. Then it comes down to time in queue....could have been others ahead of you, which means "no soup for you!"

    Non Convincing Crude bottom

    At some point, they will be right, then we get to hear them pound their chest about the great call they made! Sell the rallies until the market makes you pay for it.

    Help! video cards for 6 monitors

    You get what you pay for....those old cards don't work as well, and will certainly slow down your system. I recently upgraded mys systems with a couple of Nvida cards, 7900's, and they work really well...and my system performance was improved dramatically. You pay for quality once!

    Don and Mav, Part Deux! (Live Chat)

    Having talked with both of them, I can assure you they are two different people. If you are still unsure, then take a few moments and read through their posts and you will find two drastically different personalities and writing styles.

    How has the transition into the Hybird market change your short term trading strat?

    When things go wrong, you get hit by news, etc, that's the most challenging part of the hybrid. Before, the specialist would recognize the imbalance and allow you to get out of the way, at least most of the time. Now, you have no chance, you are quickly run over by the news, and the losses are...
