Well, you always hear stories from successful floor traders about how they faded certain traders (see Swagger's trilogy). I did not ask if anyone has made a longterm, successful career out of it. But if 95% of traders lose money, then you fading the trades of others seems like a high...

Does anyone use other et posters as contrarian indicators or fade their trades?

I guess you guys do not understand the economics of my argument.

it should be legal. that is my point. insider trading is misunderstood.

you mean to think no one is one word. again, no one is answering my question. why is it bad? who loses?

but they were going to buy it anyways. i am talking straight insider trading, not pump and dump. the buyers were going to buy whether the insider sold or not. are you that dense. tell me how it negativeky impacts anyone????

well, take the reverse then. a ceo buys ahead of good news. here, the sellers sell into more demand and amke more money. everyone wins.

but the biotech getting rich does not negatively impact anyone else; in fact, it benefits all of the buyers by allowing them to purchase at a lower price.

Put 20K into a bank account and 20k into a trading account. Screw the money market and mutual funds.

Does swiftTrade offer a salary?

Steve, can you expand on what you just wrote. Are you familar with the Flipper? Didn't he make a nice living using the same deception you speak of, i. e representing like he was going to buy or sell than "flipping" his order.

I guess I am more interested in the theory than the practicality. It will be interesting to see what they think of next, though.

LOL. I was just looking at all of the new products at some of the major exchanges. It seems like the only thing left to commoditize is time. It would be an interesting concept. Who thought you would be able to trade snow futures or rain futures.
