but placing an order directly to island, sure beats having your order disappear, to some deep dark smokey room, routed to mars, and sent via covered wagon, to execution, i have never been one to talk up datek/island, because it is a good thing, and i wanted to keep it to myself, and keep all the complainers away, but it is such a good thing, after hundreds/thousands of trades, i have come to realize that more volume, and more liquidity is a good thing, it sure beats nyse, it sure beats illiquid nasdaq stocks, it sure beats anything else i can think of... i just wish everyone would only play the 4 or 5 stocks, i play....LOL |
