<< don't subscribe to your "blame the victim" predatory attitude. >> Huh? I'm not a MM....I have no advantage over other traders except for the knowledge I have gained. . Every trader out there wants to win as much as I . Have you ever spent serious time on the Yahoo boards? I doubt it. You would know that these people are NOT victims. They are would be "predators" that want to get rich, but don't want to do the hard work that's necessary. When they lose it's never their fault. I have taken big loses in the market. In fact I have been all but wiped out twice.

Watch the tape every day all day and I disagree..In fact the complaints these "victims" make are often ridiculous. No system is without it's frauds ,but by and large the MM's don't need to do more than charge an extra few cents onna bid or pay a few cents less by buying order flow from brokers.They will back away from bids if it suits them.... But out right manipulation is rare IMHO. << the percentage certainly approaches 100%.As they say, in American business, the scum also rises. <g> >> himmm....Well ,I asked.....
