All those stocks you mentioned, along with a few dozen others going back to the early 2000's (ENE, WCOM, ERIC, etc.) did trade in the same way as C. The only difference is all those symbols, just like ALU, S, SIRI, etc. today, didn't trade volume even remotely close to that of C. So yes, traders will move onto other symbols, but it "will never be the same." C was one of those once in a lifetime opportunities. I think most of us who trade it for a living knew that sooner or later it would come to an end... I'll be taking a slightly different approach and starting a petition against the Citigroup reverse split.
True...probably won't be exactly the same. But there will be other opportunities elsewhere. There always are. C will probably get their wish in May when institutional money comes in to get short a ton of stock.
those of you trading for microscopic rebates are not traders at all. the good news is, cab drivers are always in demand
Nah...those guys aren't traders. Real traders spend all day on this site and have over 12k posts. A guy like you would kill for a HFT trading gig with a fund.
"I used to trade 7 million C a day, then it split the wrong way. But I make almost as much now and I get more fresh air"
you've all been had by a recidivist troll. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=159879&perpage=40&pagenumber=1
they have to take the blinders off people need to be traders again, anytime i would tell them they aren't real traders they would take offense, one HF trader ask me whats going on with ABK before it went belly up, i told him MGS and NMR were buying.... he told me what does that mean ..... HEAD SMACK you can't make this up
