the 1st thing you need to do is to watch ISLD.....MM will drop the bid nearly 100% of the time when an ECN sell order is up. The drop ratio is usually 3:1 based upon the trading fractions: an ECN bid may raise the ask 1/16, 1/8 or what ever but an ECN ask position can and often does prop the ask 3 times that same 1/16-1/8/1/4..whatever. So..it's this way.....we are either buying into the sellin of our own people/friend/thread buddies....or MM are using ECNs to pick up cheap share by way of droping the bids at a 3 to 1 ratio. Not like that doesn't happen elsewhere, but not nearly as frequent, as quickly and a big as it does on pllays we see here. and it they didn't know what picks we were accumulating..and if they are good picks we should be accumulationg....not sellilng off for a quick buck, life would be better...... How's that for a starter? EDIT: In short....if you SHORT every stock that is put on this thread....you will make money before the day is out. If you had tohold..it would only take a day or 2 at best to win. this is not the way it used to be.
