I appreciate your comments and agree entirely. I am just trying to figure how anyone makes money scalping the crazy stocks off the day, those 3 bucks stocks, up 1 1/4 on the day, trading 9 million shares in 2 hours..etc...i think the market makers are the only ones that can legitimately win that game, with order flow coming in..you own if it goes lower, you sold if it goes higher, or they simply match up buyers via. seller and keep the spread. but you need flow coming in to make those teenies. I was more curious if there are people success doing that, what are they doing? using ECNs? any autosystems? etc. regards, Steve@yamner.com
