I guess my next question would be, who cares what scummy stocks their involved in? When it's their online brokerage business that's growing by leaps and bounds? Lot's of MM's are in ify stocks. Not defending JBOH just trying to see the point.

As for your statements, I was just asking for clarification. As for making markets in "scummy" stocks. Give us the benefit of your worldly experience. If the company can make money trading the spreads in those stocks...isn't that what being in business is all about...the same thing you do but in the stocks you select. I think its safe to say that JBOH is not going to make a market in INTC, MSFT, CSCO just to get picked off by guys like you and I. I am looking at the company's most recent earnings release and see a profitable company benefiting from the move by individual investors to the net and trading on the net. bonne chance
