I agree with you Don, but the only thing I was thinking of was how the market traded on September 17-20, 2001. The 21st was probably the best day...
Only put in buy side orders, 1% envelope. But I reduced my size from my usual 1300 shares to 500, just because we were way off the chart in terms...
The average share price of the stocks I trade is $50.30. For the past month, my average volume on openings (one side) is 7400. In that time,...

Don, are you saying LEH and C were opening fills for you yesterday and you held them overnight? Is that normal practice for how you trade the...
