In trading, always ask yourself, if you made the right move; who is the one paying you. Where is he/she getting the money to pay for your winnings. If you are the first one out of the gate, when stock reaches an immediate peak. The market maker or the clearing house you deal with pays you. Every one else will get less and less money for their stock. If you buy and sell odd lots; definitely the clearing house pays you. This is a suckers' market, one winner for not much money, the rest lost money. If there is a momentum play, and you buy and sell 100 shares, a round lot. Fellow investors are being matched for buy and sell orders. You are paid by another investor, less commissions. This is a healthy market. You can see all that action on one minute interval intraday chart or the Yahoo big one day chart.
