> the pirates still plunder for their pieces of eight

yes they do. today I watched them move the bid around
quite a bit on ATRO
tscn.com
without bothering to change the ask. at the times the spread
was a point, which is a lot on a $12 stock.

one way to narrow the spread is to put a limit order somewhere
in the middle, and lo, the bid suddenly rises and you find
yourself offering to buy stock below the bid. the bright
side is that if I keep offering (threatening, a la Rubin) to
buy, the stock will never go down.

options are even more fun.

Berney: this one is worth the aggravation. The projected market is three times larger than fannie mae...a monopoly backed by congress....hmm, let's see, that puts it at a market cap of 200B and here we are at 175M, so that's (gulp) more than a 1000 bagger.
OK, maybe the limit order and spread doesn't matter. -vbg-
