I've got 3000 at 42...it looks more and more like that trade is going to stand. if it does, then some big hedge fund lost over 10 points on 2 million shares...ouch
i sold my 3000 block at 54.75. if it runs up to 56..i may buy some calls just to protect myself in case i find myself short 3000 all of a sudden.
I'm trying to figure why anyone likes TWS at all. I've moved an account to IB to try them out, but even as a swing trader, I find their JAVA platform sucks. It takes twice as long for me to enter an order as a simple HTML platform. It just seems to run slow, although I have plenty of ram and a fast processor.
A guy in my office said it was a trader at Bear. He was supposed to send a market order for 9,000....accidentally sent it for 9,000,000. Who knows if it's true, but someone really f*cked up big time.
