<Anybody else place a trade this morning?>

I've placed bets on NBIX, partly feel $ on hand lowers the risk, but only small in SIBI (got lucky a while back @ 4.25) and I was busy at the doctors with the kids today... no trades. BUT, it looks like revenues from these deals could start being substantial! May have to wade in.

I don't mind this sort of manipulation, as it allowed my orders to fill. However.....
(1) why??..... what is the advantage to the market maker? and (2) should I forward this post to the SEC?

These guys should absolutely either 1.) Show your bid or 2.) Fill you immediately. You could inform the SEC, as I believe the guy is "shooting against your order" (can you see time and sales?), or call Schwab and ask 'em what up...
