A few questions to experienced MB Traders:

1) Their web site shows ticket prices as those being 2,000 shares or less; does this mean that I can pick up 10,000 shares at around $100 or roughly $10/1000 shares?

2) How extensive is their short list? I'm talking about less liquid NASDAQ issues, say with average volume 50k or less.

3) How many market maker boxes can be on one's monitor without overburdening a 56k internet connection?

4) How often does one get knocked off a regular 56k internet connection? Delays in data feed due to internet "noise"?

5) How soon after submission of a SOES order can one expect a confirmation of execution (i.e. how many seconds)?

Many thanks in advance.

I just want to vent about some MBT traders.

It really makes laugh to see a chip bid at the offer price on a slow moving stock with only one ECN offering. 99% of the time he'll get taken out by someone else and the price won't uptick. If he was smart, he'd SNET preferencing the ECN and take him out.

Am I the only one that sees this?
