That was an interesting thread you began; i just read through it. In terms of dollar value connected to # of shares in a cycle of trading I run with the higher end here. The QQQ banter was a non answer though. I hope you formulate a more defining Q to learn what you are looking for.
I am still enjoying all this bla-bla-bla nonsense. Ryanmitcho, I trade in chicago, but remotely, not in the Bright office, I have an office across the street at the CBOT. As far as me and thetraderprofit, we used to trade together in LV, that's how we know each other. If any of you guys want to see good trading, sit next to him for one day. Gertsman
Anyway, my answer: 150,000 shares of a gold stock that was in a merger a few years ago. Can't remember the stock--it was around $1.25.
When I first started trading, I sat next to a guy that, in the morning was long 150,000 aol's and by the end of the day was short 150,000 shares. All hedged offcourse, but I watched and tried to keep up with him. I think a few people on this board know who I am talking about. Gertsman
No, I think it was the ABX/NEM deal. Bre-x, very funny. That's the one where the chief geologist supposedly committed suicide by jumping out of a helicopter. Me thinks he was pushed....................................who would off themselves this way?
I know of whom Gertsman is speaking. He did a 125,000 share bullet on Time Warner and I believe he sold the entire piece in a market order at the opening. That was 50% of the opening trade.
Where is Harrytrader when you need someone to make an additional 13 consecutive posts? My limit is 3.
Very true insights. true as well, plus we have no conspiracy theories to toss around. MY biggest size was 40,000 shares and 600 option contracts.
