<<<The spreads on that stock today were very high, almost $1 buck at times... sharks!>>> >>I call it a bear trap. Hehehe... Short on the bid not the ask <hee> I placed limits to short at a price closer to ask and viola' , it gets filled.. The amazing sharks... gotta play their games, hee... If you sell at market, you get bid always! If you use limits, you get filled on the ask (sometimes...) to sell and get filled on the bid to buy (sometimes...) Works good on these high spread stocks, that is how you make da-mullah$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I am the first one to admit that I didn't think it was possible, but you always learn something everyday playing stocks... I call it "fishing"... AHEE HEE HEH EHE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pirate P.S. For my next trick, I am placing limits to buy PAIR at $8 1/8 and then another limit to sell at $17 5/8, the Amazing Pirate does it again, nothing up my sleeve, presto!
