    Was Andover bought out last week?

    There's definitely some truth, so it's not a rumor. As to exactly what's going to happen, I have no idea as few are talking. Anyway, it's Sungard, not Sunguard. They're in the S&P 500. Even if they don't want your business, there are plenty of firms that do. I wouldn't worry too much...

    what do you say when people ask you for tips/advice?

    The only one I ever gave to my brother and Dad was WCOM. Now, they won't listen to anything I say. It's the "Law of Primacy" I guess.

    Time limit for someone to claim erroneous trade.

    Although the rules are linked in posts above, metoxx is correct. The general rules don't necessarily matter. It depends upon all the facts and circumstances. Virtually all of the "clearly erroneous" policies contain an "out" allowing the ecn or NASD to bust the trade. There is also an appeals...

    Is this legal?

    It's not front-running. I think they called it that because it sounded cool. But it does automatically step in front of the best bid/offer.

    earning interests on shorts -> Don

    I believe the rate differential at Bright has always been 1.5% between the long rate paid and that earned. I also think you had to be short at least $100k to receive the short stock rebate. Don, has this changed? Then, of course, depending on your "leverage" you MIGHT owe a firm haircut %...

    I know of systems that have "front-run" keys on the keyboard, always to keep the price as the best bid/ offer.

    JPM Derivatives Monster

    I do believe, absent corporate fraud (which can't be ASSUMED), that Moody's has a handle on JPM's exposure. To wit, from an 8/22 Reuters story: "..the credit, market, and liquidity risks associated with its [JPM's] profitable derivatives franchise are well controlled..."
