gertsman- i trade at bright and am a pretty big trader myself- how come I have never heard of a guy with the last name gertsman?? what is your real name??
13000 shares in KM, during the BK announcement didn't have the cajones to hold from .69-1.50 but i did take it from 1.39 to 1.50
Do you actually trade, or do you just stand there and cheerlead for Gertsman? Your posts sound like you have a crush on him.
Size? Just a number. As an employee, I traded reportable limit size in OEX all the time. Just another day at the office. As a prop. trader, it is far more stressful for me to trade 5k shares of MSFT or IBM and such. Guys trade to add liquidity for the obscure ECN's, and a million shares of whatever (for example) a WCOM is now (does it still trade?) represents far less than an odd lot of Berkshire. Biggest single position I ever had was 12k of IBM. For me it was gut wrenching. I am far more comfortable trading 20-40 positions of 1 or 2 or 3k shares. Maybe it was a style thing. Each to his (or her) own. Traded that way daily for many years. So how was I comfortable holding 100k shares or so, and uncomfortable with 12k in one position? Just me I guess. The guy that places a multi million share order of a real stock for a mutual fund also is just doing a job. Everything is relative. It's the impact on the individual that matters, IMO. Peace, Rs7
10,000 shares of ENE at .37....held it for 1 day and it went up to .75 and sold it......thought I was rich, until I realized I should have bought 100,000 at that price....sheesh.....got to use a calculator!
