  2. a cheesy, thin rally. at least, it didn't blow too much into the sails in my little harbor. enough to recover most of what I gave up in the chop on the morning...

  4. WHR @ 12:15 is an example of a specialist taking on inordinate risk to fill some buy orders, and why we should erect statues for them.

    probably he was eating a sandwich and his machine was set on autopilot, or his 5 year old son asked if he could try it. "Look daddy, I just made you 45,000 dollars!"

    /sarcasm.

  5. Is the SoFla sun getting to you or am I the confused one? I thought you didn't trade NYSE stocks. Why so much time watching them?

    I am truly amazed (seriously) at your ability to trade your stocks, post tens of messages a day on these boards and watch the Specialists at their rippoff games. I can barely watch 5 stocks.

  8. To be totally fair, chas has slowed down to only 24 posts a day, I remember looking a few weeks back and he was at 28+ posts a day.
