The head of Arca testified that NYSE violates the trade through rule roughly 75,000 times per week

The winner was B

Since inmate hasn't posted in over a year, I took it upon myself to contact the correctional facility in which he is housed. As it turns out, he was placed in solitary for using the warden's computer. He'll be back in general population soon, but I suspect he will have difficulty posting...

I've heard of the boot camp, but I was never much for the military way of life. Besides, Don as a drill sgt. just doesn't seem to have the same impact as , say that guy who shouts, "What is your major malfuntion?" I have heard Don try this before , but as I said, it just doesn't have the right...

A large percentage of my account but not my net worth. I made 10,000 Monday so I only lost 6600 after commissions. This has been a wasted month for me. I have churned 6 million shares with $1100 to show for it. I am thinking.....the double shift at Circle K doesn't look so bad, but at...

I agree. Part of the problem here is the declining local line business of BLS and SBC, the latter losing 6% of its local lines last year. The companies have to find someplace to employ their capital. Frankly, I think they should buy out every leveraged REIT, unleverage them, and liquidate...

There's a MAC (material adverse change ) clause in every deal, and I don't know specifically what this one is yet, but the market is assigning a significant discount. The only MAC provision I am aware of relates to required divestitures. Beyond the FTC or DOJ, the FCC must find the merger is...

To the person who wanted an explanation, just google the words "Herfinadahl Hirschman", or as Dennis Miller says, you can use the new Yahoo search engine by going to Google and typing "Yahoo search engine"

I never dreamed they'd pay over $13, actually I thought $12.50 was tops, and I figured a 10% risk discount,, so I thought a short at 11.82 was OK. I still think AWE may go so far south the deal doesn't get done.

Well, I guess I just don't learn. I was short 8000 over the President's Day holiday and lost 16,400. It's a weird deal, other than the overpayment. Justice Dept/ FTC tend to challenge deals where the premerger HHI (Herfindahl Hirschman Index) is over 1800 and the merger increases it by...

Under the new tax rules, stock that is held with a broker in a margin account and is loaned out by the broker, is subject to ordinary dividend tax rates TO THE CUSTOMER. The payment in lieu of dividend received by the customer does not receive qualified dividend treatment. I'll bet this...

The bottom line is whether the bids/ offers shown are public orders. You always have a greater chance of making money when the order shown is just a book limit order. Now, if NYSE really wants to change things, they could show all market orders in the book as they come in, and could...

lost 3800, still short 2999

currently down 3400, took 4000 off

I had to do the calc in my head and I was off a little

It's at 8.60 Euros in Frankfurt. That's 10.79. To the person he said he thinks the specialist was getting long, the specialist cannot initiate an uptick by buying up the stock. On the contrary, I think the specialist is short in his trading account. He may be long in his investment account.

looks like I lose. UK Business reporting Vodaphone may offer up to 34 billion. That's 12.52/ share

Well, it's out. Vodaphone may offer up to 34 billion for AWE That's a lttle over $12.50

Does your description of yourself qualify you as a she-wolf?

In the absence of additional deal news Monday morning, do you really think somebody on Kudlow and Kramer can move such a thick stock so much? My poll seems to suggest so. Is it the fact it was up 31 cts after hours?
