I'm in the process of going to cash, so I am selling off my RGFX.

Funny thing happened this morning. I swear that you just can't
deal with the other players in this market in a straight forward,
upright manner.

I had 3500 shares. The stock was running 2 11/16 x 13/16.
So I put in a limit order to sell 3500 shares at 2 3/4. No takers.
Meanwhile, the Dow busts into positive territory, still no takers.
I decide that the size of my order is bothering somebody, and
they think I'll blow it out at the bid. So I cancelled the order,
and replaced it with one to sell 1500 shares at 2 13/16.
The bozos take it right off the table. I guess my raising my
ask was a bullish move for the stock. In any case, they paid
my commission for me. Now I have to do the same with the
remaining 2000 shares.

I'm not at all convinced the market makers in this game are
very smart.
