Ken, At the same time some of the semi stocks often have wider spreads (NVLS, LRCX, XLNX, ALTR). Using the ISLD and INCA can create an advantage. You can bid 1/16 above best MM bid or ask 1/16 below the best ask. At times you can sneak in and buy and sell in a couple minutes with the above and make 1/4. Take a stock with 3/8 spread, say 40 x 40 3/8. Bid 40 1/16 then offer it out at 40 5/16. The stock can't be dormant, it needs to have some activity or you may sit there waiting to get filled. Dave
