The NYSE TICK data I received from IB started going bad around 11:30 AM on Thursday and lasted to the end of the day on Friday. This was verified against three other sources of data.

That's great for options handled by Timber Hill. Too bad they don't handle the SOX. http://www.phlx.com/products/sectors.html

I have no doubt that Hank is the eminent Dean of the good old boy club on wall street and he probably enjoys the privileges that go along with that; conflict of interest, corruption, fraud. I certainly hope the specialist system goes away. However, it will not achieve the price...

IMO good old boy Hank is less than genuine with respect to his statement about NYSE specialists. I suspect this man is spinning a rationalization about his apparent conflict of interest in asking Grasso to pressure the specialist to keep the price of AIG's stock stable. (Hank was on Grasso's...

I have option debit spreads in my IRA with IB.

China doesn't want to float it's currency because it has the same banking problem that Japan had in the late 80's and doesn't want to risk destabilizing their banks until the balance sheets of those banks can be repaired. China will most certainly dump a shitload of U.S. Treasury notes &...

I believe that this was just an instance of where the customer service staff was (and still is?) ignorant on the uptick rule and where the software has shared in that ignorance. I had to send TWS screen shots along with webpage links to the ETF prospectus, the AMEX ETF summary page and NYSE...

Yes, IB has a real problem keeping an inventory of OIH to short. It really sucks. I've questioned them about this several times over the past year & I keep getting the same canned (pat) answer. Bummer! (They also have problems with TLT and IWM). I also encountered the same problem-answer from...

I'm bullish on the economy and bearish on the market. IMO, the market disconnected from the economy in the late 90's and remains disconnected to this day. At some point in time there will be a settlement. Regardless of our opposing macro economic & market views, I certainly agree with you...

Grasso is the specialist that hoses you on every NYSE trade.
