is it time to go short? no

stop complaining, instead figure out a way to profit in the current market, or switch markets, or jump out the window :D

i hate these reports, i wish everything came out b4 the market opened. the first hour is where the most opportunity for profit is... but I have to stay out due to this report.. don't want any illiquid stocks gapping 50 cents on me.

yes it is fair. I received 2 price improvements on limit orders today... 1 for 15 cents another for 8 cents.

I think when you enter the market, you trade what you think, when you exit, you trade what you see. If you think something will go up and you buy it and it doesn't, you sell. Make sense? This should satisfy those with an appetite for word jugglery
