Non-Tech : MB TRADING -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Markox5, any of the trading firms such as MB, Executioner, etc. allow you to have access to ISLD. Normally, ISLD remains open for trading 2 hours after the Nasdaq market closes. In addition, many of these firms have access to Instinet, which also allows after hours trading. With Instinet you will probably have to place a telephone order, rather than electronically. However, I think you will find after hours trading to be very thin, if at all. Also, it is unlikely that an after hours trader would not be aware of the same news or information as you. Furthermore, it has been my experience that if you want to buy stock after hours you are probably going to have to pay a premium over the closing price to get it, and if you are looking to sell, you are likely going to have to discount it. There are not too many free lunches in the stock market. Sometimes, but not often.
