I don't even know whether or not I have ever been deleted. It wouldn't surprise me since most people strongly dislike being shown dissenting views, but neither would it surprise me if none of my posts had ever been modified or deleted, since ET is an excellent board with lots of participants...

Al Qaeda?

That would be just the thing. It would make it theoretically possible to completely ruin an individual investor who is short the stock, no matter how small his position might be. And all the way up he would have no chance to get out. That way at least he wouldn't turn into one of those evil...

Amen to that.

It wouldn't happen to be UPS?

Occasionally, IB's systems may still have a slight glitch, but most of the time there is one and only one reason for problems with quotes and/or order routing: Archipelago is open!

This seems to be a classical example for TA: The markets are going to rally if we go to war and they are going to rally if we don't go to war. TA says they are going to rally because they are a little oversold. And it will be right whether we go to war or not. I don't really know if the...

Longboat Key. But you have to hope it doesn't turn into a ghetto like Siesta Key.

In this case I think I have to agree with tampa. It's no use assigning attributes like "evil" or "manipulative" to certain market participants. If you think of the specialist as a nice person who is just doing you and all the other players a service, it doesn't grow your ulcer and your trading...
