What's being missed here, IMHO, is the impact that going to decimals will have on the big houses. I believe that GSCO is panicin', as Billy Ray Valentine would say.

No GI Joe with the Kung Fu Grip this Christmas.

Most people have no idea how much money a big market maker makes on a daily basis by simply making a market in a stock and taking a sixteenth or a thirty-secondth on every trade they make. When we go to decimals, I think the spreads will immediately be narrowed, and the big market makers will have even less control over the investing public.

I think GSCO is looking for any way it can to increase its share of the future revenues to be generated by the online traders.

I'm waiting for a top on these big houses, which I think will come before the end of this year, and then I am going to short every one of them. I don't think they can maintain their margins and revenue growth.
