I have a silly question. What's to prevent someone selling, say 200 shares of E-trade @40 and buying 100 shares of tbfc @ 74. You would make a profit of 600 minus commissions and you'd end up getting 210 shares of E-trade in the fall. $600 in your pocket and 10 free shares of E-trade. Sounds too simple. I know I am missing something but I can't see it. What am I missing here? Rick
