They aren't a joke. In fact, the whole SMART routing technology revolves around the fact that these quotes need to be right. If they aren't right, then all SMART order routing fails to be useful.

Yes, Bernanke is wrong. He should raise rates to match inflation, maybe stop at 8%.

Maybe you aren't patriotic because you aren't rooting for fair price discovery.

99.99% of the time the fault is with IB's ARCA quotes. I don't know why it is so difficult to get these quotes working as this has been a problem for several months now.

I'm just glad that these countries were man enough to admit (after all gathering around and watching Cramer on CNBC) that they absolutely needed to do what he, and only he, said. They were like, "Man, we have no idea how bad it is out there. We have no idea. We have no idea what it's like out...

Cramer announced on his show tonight that finally Bernanke listened to him and now the fed is starting to talk about housing/credit crunch problems. I am glad that Cramer is able to affect fed policy by his ranting and raving. I mean without him, who would save me? I am glad he is talking...

Too soon.

No I don't. If you can't figure out how to profit from these ridiculous openings, enough said.

If it is so easy for the specialist, why aren't you capitalizing with opening orders yourself? Shouldn't you be glad they are giving away free money to you?

Illiquid stocks are a different beast than liquid ones. So maybe stick to liquid ones or change the way you handle stops on illiquid ones. Stops on illiquid stocks are a great way to lose money quickly.

Man that is the best idea I've heard ever.

It might help for a few days in my opinion. Would just delay the inevitable pain to come but hey that's just me.

We can only hope. Anything to get him off the air.

Odd-lots get preferential fills. If you use odd-lot order predominantly to trade, you will get noticed. If you use odd-lot orders to invest in something, no one will care. And as I recall, odd-lot orders are also hugely more expensive to fill on ARCA than round lots.

There have been a few times where ARCA routing has not worked for me, but it seems to clear up in a few seconds/minutes. I trade equities. Sorry cannot be of more help. I have noticed the sizes on quotes being incorrect lately, especially in low liquidity situations.

Yes, CNN is the only network covering this story.

Why not take advantage of these crazy opening prices if they are so criminal? Send in multiple opening orders at different prices levels on both the buy and sell side depending on where you think "crazy" is. Then wait for the price to normalize.

Maybe we weren't watching the same show. He actually waffled between being a bear and then saying he doesn't actually believe that being a bear is correct. He is hedging his bets by saying everything and nothing at the same time. Watch the show again.
