NYSE clowns! We haven't even been trading decimals a month and now we hear complaints they want to go from penny increments to nickels!...LOL 3cents is 1/32 6cents is 1/16

idiots! us ECN users have long used 1/256 to jump in front of 50K bidders etc....well I have learned now that 3/256 is a penny for all purposes....Cry babies

so is it troublesome for me to compute penny increments to 256...yes it is!
I only used to use them in increments of 1/8ths now I must compute every damn 3/256!!!!

ok....here's a DOW stock AAM @ 1.70 does it trade 1.69-1.71 bid/ask? Hell no! it trades 1.31-1.76? or some nonsense the specialist try to steal from???? Bullshit!

Just an example why I hate NYSE....I to this day trade my NYSE stocks on island or redibook! I get my fill when I want and I pay less!!!! Crooks!.....now they want to change this system from penny increments to nickels??????????hey...go to .0625 and we can call it 1/16! unfreakenbelievable!
