Since I used to be a sales trader at a Broker/Dealer...you and I both know how pathetic the response in Instinet is...not only that but I can respond much more quickly to an INCA bid or offer much quicker than anyone on their system...just costs me 3¢ a share instead of 2¢.

I can trade circles around INCA...the service is terrible...but you probably already know that.

As for ISLD...I can be in and out of a position a couple of times before you can even enter your order...so spare me...I've got Instinet on my desk and I can't be bothered because its so slow...but if that is the cutting edge technology you use to ply your trade...good for you.

I still stand by my original assertions...ISLD is here to stay with roughly 1 million shares a day.

BTW at these levels I am not a buyer of any of the ebrokers because I think volume will come down due to the recent correction...its kind of easy to spot...you can almost gauge OTC volume by the number of posts on the various SI threads.

Now since you're getting personal..since I'm 40 you must be really old...not to mention fat and short (5'00" I believe old Auric was)...tell you what...you can carry just my golf bag....

P.S. I would guess you're not that old as I don't think there are that many jaded old guys who take such offense as you do to someone with an alternative viewpoint and can type.
