(OT) So yesterday the sun finally comes out and a bunch of us head for the beach. Suzy and a few other ladies immediately undo and toss down their bathing suit tops. I am shocked of course, but cosmopolite that I am, I quickly adopt a Very European Casual Manner. Whenever one of these bare-breasted lassies approaches me to ask what time it is (I have no idea) or otherwise engage me in conversation, I note that I make solid eye-contact...never look down at my feet or the sand. It's neck-up all the way baby. I gotta tell you that it was a wonderful day at the beach, and, whenever I was talking to one of these terrific girls, despite what I was saying, (I was mostly mumbling a lotta nonsense) I was thinking about the market, garbage-hauling and Yogi Berra. Thinking about Yogi always helps in these situations. It's a guy thing. Now I had an INTC short on with a buy-stop. And was long 200 shares of CORL. And while I was at the beach I coulda been clobbered. But if you really wanna know the truth, I didn't much care...such a good time I was seeing, er, having. So we get back (I didn't want to leave, ever) and I see my INTC down and my CORL up over 7. Whatta day! (Lee)

Knight Securities, a New Jersey-based division of Knight Trimark Group, and a company that is the backbone of much of the online trading taking place today. Knight Securities COO Walter Racquet says basically the firm is "in the risk business?We do 10-20 billion dollars worth of transactions (every day), so whenever anybody buys or sells?we?re the other side of that transaction." In the last four years, the firm?s average daily trading volume has grown from 20,000 to 350,000 shares. Knight Trimark CEO Ken Pasternak says, "If we were a stock exchange, we would be the fifth largest in the world." He adds that it is speed of execution?measured in nanoseconds?that is a Knight hallmark, plus a guarantee of stock prices at the opening and overall lower costs for customers because of its automated electronic approach.
