About that Price Improvement stuff...
Are you using Schwab, I use Schwab and they claim to save me money
when I trade as a result of it. I think, (someone correct me if they
know otherwise) price improvement basically takes advantage of people
who place market orders. My broker said that when I bought I got in
below the market price because they found someone with a market order
that they pulled down a little!! That is great when it helps me, but
it must have hurt someone. I guess the moral is don't place market
orders if you are concerned with getting an exact price, instead place
a limit order at whatever the market price is.
Does that make sense?
I bought into this stock because it appeared to be a carbon copy of
Amati (AMTX), anyone see a new stock experiencing the same pattern?
