Kent, What exactly is a "Jitney Trade"? Thanks Joe

Hi, Kent...thanks for correcting me...however, I didn't mean to imply that there is a (standard) $30 fee (for lack of a better term) for jitneys...rather, it's a variable depending on the amount you want to trade...the house I deal with for example imposes a $20 minimum for this and there is no limit as I trade a larger amount, the $20 also goes up...and as far as I know, anyone (including myself) can still do it...if the broker calls for the jitney, he/she pays...if I call for it, I pay...whichever the case, I agree, the amount should be fairly large to make it worthwhile in preserving one's anonymity...
