Tip. I am not clear that there is any advantage to them at all. Even " of not having to use a person to place an order"... My view of technology in the biz world is that it is a fleeting advantage. If it works as an advantage and you have it first you make a few bucks. But then the competition has to follow the model, and you are back to competition. Margin pressure drops prices to consumer. In the end the consumer benefits. Biz has to stay on the technology treadmill or die. But most benefits in the end go to consumer.

When all of the shorting players and put donators figure out the game they will start trying to short-kill themselves. At that point it will be like the coyote running off a cliff, getting halfway across until ... poof! nothing below. Do you suppose we're already there, with shorts too scared to dive in, or do the players reverse instead of a straight sell, covering before the previous profit has dried up. Tippet be sure to notify us when you've bought an internut or a squawk box stock. I've got a "sell all stocks" button to hit for such an event. Maybe you'll start to dabble in Intel.com If you want to short something, maybe the gaming sector has some downside left. Doubtful they get much business since the stock market beats it for excitement and reward, hands down. If we end up in a long bear market, however, Las Vegas and horse racing should do well with lots of newly addicted customers. Maybe I'll open a web site shop on the strip. Meanwhile in the middle of this froth there are still some stocks getting hammered for earning money just a little slower than internet speed. At prices about 5x cash flow, do you really need a positive growth rate to buy? Thats a 20% return on the business, right there.
