might makes right.

Yeah, Lars...your little "i'm gonna get in front of congress and whine like a little bitch" publicity stunt cost us lotsa free music. go back to the rhineland and whine over there.

good for them. I think the SEC does a great job. i'm glad they're out there protecting people like you and me. ps - can you say "government mafia??" i knew you could.

does anyone else have the same problem? i go to their web page, and i have either the java book or the html book (updates automatically in subseconds, or so they say) open, and then after an hour or so, maybe less, the !@$#* thing stops updating and the books are all stale...

BTW, if anyone else had a similar experience, please post it and we can (maybe) figure out what went wrong. (The above post was referring to closing out a long position, not initiating a short, and the stock was nas NMS). I was selling 100-200sh per order and aiming for bids. Normally...

Yeah, they really are. I gotta stop using stop losses on listed stocks. Nothing like seeing an execution pop up on my screen only to find out it was a block at the low of the day. Do you hear that, new guys? DON'T use stop losses on listed stocks. Use alerts instead and use your judgment.

While trying to dump 1000 shares this morning, i made the mistake of using limit orders. If you were asleep at the open today, the market was moving very fast for the first ten minutes. I was using SMART routing, and trying to hit bids with 100sh increments, and my orders were almost always...

Hi, I Just heard some blurb on bloomberg about china initiating a new tax on cell phone providers there - anyone know if it is true??? Thanks!
