I read an interesting article today on ISLAND in the Dallas Morning News. It talks about how ISLAND has had a dramatic affect on the Nasdaq. ISLAND is the ECN brokerage firm that basically allows one to have Market Maker capabilities. Now, the SEC needs to allow ISLAND on the OTC market. Then we would wipe out all of the crooked Market Makers. It will be only a matter of time where we are able to be a Market Maker in the OTC market. In reference to On line trading and making money: Obviously we have a lot of individuals who are losing a lot of money at this game. That is the only reason why I see the SEC stepping up their employees to combat the fraud going on in the internet community. IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO ALL NEWBIES!!!!!!! 1.DO NOT, DO NOT CHASE A STOCK. 2.If stock keeps going up; attempt to get a hold of the company ASAP to find out why it is going up. 3. DO NOT, DO NOT PUT YOU LIFE SAVINGS IN ANY ONE STOCK! 4.Only invest in money you are prepared to lose; no matter what kind of investment you are making. May it be real estate, gold, ostrich eggs, business, etc., etc., 5.Any information that is posted on any of these messages by me or anyone else should be verified by the company. I just saw the movie, Boiler Room. I enjoyed the movie. It is sad to see people resort to such tactics to steal somone's money. It is a must see for any investor. We all need to help each other out and look out for one another.
