How did everyone else in the sector avoid a beating of this magnitude?
Was looking solid, but today DE is dropping like a rock. Is there news on this thing? This is a pretty hefty intraday beating, and I can't find...
Revised: +$28. I figured out an insider was selling (via comtex on tradestation), so I waited for an ES push to the downside and shorted....
+$15.54 2 great trades, 1 that required some corrective action and robbed me of profits.
+$62 Happy with progress.

I think the benefit actually comes from compression, because the storage on disk after compression is substantially less than without compression....
It's just whenever there's a sharp, sustained move to one side or the other, and when the "usual" way of doing business is interrupted. Like when...
Oh, I should add that I'm not managing millions. I'm just a low capital, tens-of-thousands-of-dollars retail bozo whose idea of a great deal is...
