Visit the JPR thread, the ABW thread, the Cyber thread, how many posts about MBT do you see there? one? two? How many posts on the MBT thread are all about other brokers? Why is this? It is simple. Manhattan Beach Trading is the rule by which all other online trading brokers are measured. MBT sets the standard by which all others are judged. skUNK

Skunk the Goldman Sachs deal is old news. Read my post #2059 on this thread from 21 Nov 1998 and you will see my comments about it. I feel sorry for those managing directors at Goldman and E*Trade when the Chairman and Board members of those firms realize what they have got them into. The lack of due diligence on their behalf will cost them big time. I guess it is better for me, because when my letter to the SEC works it's way through the system and the fradulent application for the Archipelago ECN is looked at for review, there will be two firms with top lawyers who will realize what a scumbag Putnam and Townsend are. I know that as of today neither of their in house lawyers did any due diligence on Archipelago. An amazing lack of professionalism. Cyberbroker's commissions are slightly cheaper because there is no limit to the amount of shares per ticket. Again, you would have to trade some serious size blocks, but that can be substantial for large traders. Their per ticket charge does start out cheaper. I guess you have a hard time with numbers, but 22.95 at MBT is different than 19.95 at Cyberbroker. I give compliments to individuals who deserve them; hell I even remember giving you a compliment. TraderAlan is an asset to the daytrading community. Polar Trading has a great site, and they are a branch office of Terra Nova. Your comment about volatility was right on. Remember, you started these b.s. name games skunk, when you started calling me SCAM. The bottom line is that MB Trading is not a broker dealer, they are just a branch office. Why would a new trader not want the comfort of dealing with a broker dealer? You refuse to answer that. Why would someone who is concerned about their hard earned money not want the security of a broker dealer? You are the front man for MB Trading, and that is why you have a web page on their site. I still wonder if you are not Ross or some employee there; hiding behind a name like funk is pretty strange. I have received numerous private messages since my first post, and alot of traders have thanked me for what they have learned. I am interested in talking to other traders who have been ripped off by ARCA like some of the other traders who posted on this thread. Please keep those private posts coming.
