Quote from gertsman:

I was actually intrested in starting the same thread, but I am interested in the opening print. What was the largest print any of you guys did on the NYSE opening, yersterday I scaled 75,000 share short in the book on a thin stock that was indicated much higher and he moved the indication lower. I wonder sometimes what is the size you can do without affecting the opening the opening price?

The people that know probably aren't on these boards.

The only person that I can think of that _might_ know is Bob Bright.

Damn, I wish I was on drugs right now. I am seeing this "intelectual" girl right now, what a pain in the ass, but she is 6'1 and "very talented". Anyway she dragged me to Vagina Monologues this evening. Anyone have any good drugs, the market is closed.

I am sure your fellow ET members would appreciate it if you would post up some photos of her.

I don't mean to press, but just what does "talented" imply?
Is she an exceptional "trader?"

Is that $170 million? What happened to the $1.2 billion position I heard about?

Does McDonough at the Fed have your number? You could personally become another Long Term Capital Mgt.
