I don't think very many ISP's are using Starfires, though, at a million bucks apiece. JMHO.

>The only thing that has changed is Perception...I >guess thats why they get the big bucks... Well, just remember that they don't make any money if everyone just buys and holds. Their major profit center is their own trading desk if they're like most brokerages. Commissions from customer trades are usually secondary. Both ways though they make money when stocks go up or down, not when they hold steady. If you have enough cash and nerves of titanium, and you get the newswire feeds and NASDAQ Level 2 and can execute trades real fast, and are willing to spend 10 full hours a day on it, you might make a lot of money following the short-term trends, otherwise ...
