Believe it or not, I didn't vote for Bush. As a matter of fact, I voted for Gore. However, if that is the only difference you see, then you really are twisted. One guy pursued a genocide killing 11 million but intending to kill dozens of millions. Hitler wanted to occupy all of Europe and...

They censored a stimulating discussion about the difference between men and women traders. The thread was shut down, just as people chimed in with profound thoughts. ':)'

"Their homeland" and "systematically terrorize" show your absolute ignorance (like most people) about the history and current realities of this postage stamp country. One of many good books to read is MYTHS AND FACTS. Not only have Jews remained (regularly slaughtered and/or oppressed)...

Hmm, that one looks familiar. But I'm definitely not going to reference the thread (and open that pandora's box).

If wagering on the value on Monday for some of the NFL teams counts, then I'd have to bump my income to $12,500. I mean, really, Oakland is a no brainer (which is perfect for me, since I have no brain).

$10,500 and see if I qualify for any type of welfare in NYC. Otherwise, its back to working the streets for me. This especially since this market is not gonna move much all year long. This market will stay between 7,500 and 9,000 all year long (mostly in a tighter range or course), possibly just...

it regularly never prints. It's just pulled immediately AFTER someone goes market, then the trader is printed down, and then the bid is back to where it was in case another sucker wants to sell market. Or, the trader will sell at the bid, in which case the bid is pulled and the trader is quoted...

I'm not axeman (obviously), but the trade specifics could be a host of trades every freaking day. As far as the latter suggestion, there is just no way to fight every screw one takes (which the point is that they add up, small and big) day in and day out (or minute by minute sometimes). And...

Even in fairly thick stocks its not unusual for the specialist to screw a trader with a market order, even a small one, by using the trader's market order for a trigger or print the specialist wants (ie, to trigger stops or entice people by painting the tape).

He's right to a point. No, they can't trade right through your limit (although sometimes they will make a big print through you without printing you by claiming a bogus "stock ahead," even on a HUGE print, regardless if you were there forever). However, the specialist will regularly front run...

I have thought about filing a complaint with market surveillance. But Axeman does not just "feel" this happens, I (and probably most people here who've traded NYSE) can vouch that it happens AND HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!!!

Maybe, but all quotes from the specialist are supposed to be bona fide. If he has no intention of honoring it, he should not be putting up the bid or offer in the first place. The specialist has major advantages (understatement), but with them come some responsibilities. It is his (or her) job...

The sad thing is that there were people who knew about the raid even before it came out on Bloomberg (or any other top news feeds). Not very fair is it?

I don't agree that this is or should be a hard and fast rule. I know many top traders that add to losing positions if they feel in that particular trade that it makes good sense. I am not a top trader, but I am doing ok, and I my trading has improved since I decided to add to SOME losing positions.

look around you. we have ample evidence for the materials of the universe. we have no evidence for the existance of god (shit, we can't even talk about god, he in incomprehensible, let alone find evidence for him). make your own mind which it is more reasonable to believe always existed. [/B]...

Actually, even to the extent we can comprehend the possibilities, our true logic systems (not stupid semantic games) do not rule out the possibility of free will and God knowing the future co-existing. Do you understand that as things approach the speed of light, time slows down. That means that...

If I establish that something can happen, when someone challenges whether something can happen, then I have IN FACT SUPPORTED the claim that said something CAN happen. Nuff said! what's ambiguous. I said that many things very well can happen. I have described our limitations and the...

I have supported not that they DO exist, but that they CAN exist. What is so hard to understand? However, unicorns and dragons are almost certainly human ideas of earthly creatures, very much within our realm of cognition (at least as they've been described) and very much observable. If an...

First of all, if I establish that something CAN happen, then it is not "unsupported." You keep throwing that around incorrectly! Secondly, I'm not muddying the waters. Your unicorns of very simple, imagined earthly beings. The idea that something extremely abstract might be responsible for...
