dec 16, 1992 WSJ, page c1. The Securities and Exchange Commission recently cracked down on one of the largest-ever sales of unregistered securities. Investors had poured $440 million into investment pools raised by two Florida accountants, who for more than a decade took in money without...

might be other places as well, but i saw it here: http://www.theimproper.com/docs/madoff.pdf

i don't think it's MAS b/c they're not headquartered in any of the states mentioned. billybob, thanks for the leads on him..

minor nitpick: nasdaq NMS stocks were subject to the uptick rule - but that could be circumvented in a bunch of ways (ARCA was easiest). most of the ways to get around it weren't easily available to retail traders.

he also criticized reg FD. (EDIT: he also has an action alerts portfolio which is *down* over the past 6+ years since its creation). dope.

well, i hope you were strongly pushing for the creation of the downtick rule during the go-go 90s, when everything with a low float "floated" up no matter what the fundamentals were. if you really want to have something to limit pushing a stock down, you'd need to have some size limitation...

there's some funny stuff at dealbreaker regarding AQR, cliff posting there and other stuff.

i can find plenty of people who are down 30-40%+ over the last year and down over the last 6 years, like his action alerts portfolio is; why would i want to pay for this *cough* privilege?

here's the situations you've got: you do well at poker, better than most ppl could ever dream of doing. is it sustainable? only you honestly know. if the fish dry up, you've got problems, which means that the level you can take poker to is limited. in some regards, trading is the same...

sorry, farley's got a decent head on his shoulders (unlike most of the people at TSCM) but he's dead wrong on this point. the uptick rule is NOT responsible for anything. black boxes, on the other hand, are generally two ways: trend following or contra-trend. and they're just what people...

IB allows it only on some under $1 stocks. tradestation doesn't allow it at all. what direct access brokers do allow it - preferably, to tenth/hundredth of a place? thanks.

most of my money is made before 11, EST.

OTC book isn't useful unless you're trading true OTCs that are very liquid. the stocks that were OTCs which he traded then would be liquid stocks on the nasdaq now. no use hunting it out. you can still make it in the market is moderately useful, since it shows that sectors can work even...

etrade's awful for that. look for a broker which allows shorting of under $5 stocks. there are plenty out there; tradestation is just the tip of the iceberg, but requires $5 margin / share of under $5 stock. btw, penson *used* to only allow above $5 unless you signed off a bunch of stuff...

well, i'm about 1/3 of the way through the book. bad part: every one of the articles has appeared elsewhere! and lewis' recent portfolio article - which was so good - doesn't even appear in it. good part: it's all in one place, so it's likely to be useful for those who can't...

hottrend hasn't been working consistently for the past several months. at opening bell, quotes have been lagging for the first 5-10 minutes more than i'd like.

since i said i'd reply....found i've already done that. snipping part of an earlier post of mine from another thread: (i) worked @startup for 1 yr. laid off when money tight. started new job a few weeks later at a major international bank as a documentation person and techie for small...

check if your campus library has access to worldcat, you can get books from other places. trader vic's first book is mainly stuff you'll know, but the "2B" is the key takeaway from the book. gartley's book has been available on the net somewhere... the key takeaway is page 222, here's...
