Nymex closed tomorrow and Tuesday

Jeff Cooper on Real Money wrote about this ratio within the last week. A tidbit of what he wrote. However, since Feb. 11's test of the Jan. 26 high, the S&P has treaded water. Could it be that there are shorts who are trying to protect the baby at this 1160 juncture? As you and the whole...

I have no way of knowing but I'd tend to think that it was more like a Goldman or Morgan doing a 185k share block. I don't really care who did it just as to why is that size done off the nyse. I mean to see almost most half of a nyse issues vol done on the NAS and it coming in mainly 1 block is...

Seth, As a matter of fact all 7 of the biggest trades today in HAR were done on the NAS and all on what would have been upticks.

Seth, I don't know but on my quotes there was no print on the nyse but yet a big jump in the volume on my backup charting software. When I checked the transaction log it showed the trades were done on the Nasdaq. This also happened back a couple of weeks ago when I was trading HAR. Since I...

Today I was trading Harmon (HAR) and half of its volume was done on the NAS, and it was done in 3 blocks...2 of them were big blocks (46k and 185k) . To all the tape readers out there...how do you interpret action like this. All of them were done on what would have been plus ticks on the NYSE...

Mr.NBBO...i was being sarcastic, Haymen starts a complaining thread every other month on this same subject. I told him before that every time I saw the p/l sheets for the posts my friends worked they NEVER lost money on the thinner stocks. So he needs to get used to it or find something else to...

hayman, i have personally seen the p/l sheets for variuos posts and they do lose money...just not on the thinner stocks. you just can't seem to deal with the fact that the specialist can be the big fish in the pond during the day. I gather you don' trade the thicker stocks because you are not...

surely the SEC could spend its time better than worrying about the handful of prop firms that are left and the amount of leverage they provide

I agree with I'mlong...spreads will widen, specialists will use the 5 cent rule to control the plus and minus ticks

I'll be going and look foward to meeting some people from ET.

There are stocks that are just plain hard to hedge ...AZO for example is tough to hedge. So if holding overnight just be aware that some stocks just don't have a great hedge.

spys don't work so well as a hedge for the builders..and if you have to go in after hours and buy 2500 shares of a homebulider your going to move the after hours market all by your lonesome. The builders are all trading at 52 weeks highs or within a whisper of them..not even 52 week highs , All...

Haymen, I'm in no way understating the fact that they always made $$ in the thin stocks. Most of the time each post handled 4-5 stocks and the thin ones always showed a profit. Not huge sums mind you but as the month went on they added up. Just made me think about the stocks to trade when...

Like I said, there is no way to know for sure what orders are what. But I can tell you from riding the train everyday for with specialist clerks that whenever I was shown the p/l for the day from the post..the thin stocks that they handled ALWAYS showed a profit. This would make me want to look...

Haymen how could you know what orders are where? How can you know what orders are coming in? Market orders are never shown and limit orders that reach at the exact right time never get shown either. You think you are entitled to execution just because you have a limit on the book..nope..price...

I'll give a vote to Rev Shark..I don't know if he's a guru because he doesn't give picks. But as for knowledge and insight into the game of trading he is one of the best I've ever read.
