Ya and they are now running the QQQ up and squeezing the ones who got put short at 106 , what a mess. I had in PMs told several people I saw a dip coming this morning but I never thought it would be like that, I did buy the USPIX yesterday , which placed me short at the close yesterday and I then put in a limit buy order on 200 qqq to close that short by proxy on a dip, well I got my qqq, at 107 1/2 and will now likely leg out of the USPIX ( have until 2pm ) I was also short the MDY and had plans to hold it several days, but due to my past experience and computers going down and such as soon as I get a fill, I set a target on a close and place the order just in case. Then if the system stays working I can nudge my bet from time to time, but at least it's in the pipe if I get shut out. THis happened so fast this morning there was no time to do any nudging, I had even tighten up my bets from yesterday , as I first had the QQQ at 106 -1/2 , and the MDY at 75 1/4..so when I tightened up I actually hurt myself, but I had no idea they would be so blatant and bold as to skew them as far as they did, THE QQQ moved in 10 minutes the same as the NDX dropping 80 pts , that never happend..and the Spy moved like the SPX dropped 40 pts , that also never happened, The MDY did the same as the MID dropping 15pts, ( it dropped only 3 ) so there is no doubt in my mind it was a rigged rip off of daytraders. That I didn't get took was just luck, but it still pisses me off to see this kind of crap even if I'm on the right side of it, as it defeats the work I put in trying to get a handle on these things. It's like handicapping is not worth a crap, they turned it into a lotto, a shell game, run by scum bags, and maggot type parasites , the arseholes of stock market screwing the newbies, or any one they can. I can't think of words ugly enough for these maggots , as there aren't any that in some form don't pay a compliment to them, this is the kind of dirt that Castro knew how to deal with, by putting a bullet in their brain. While I was on the safe side , seeing this just means all my hard work has been invain, as you can't really call these spiders because of the crooks at work. I had so hoped I had found an honest ( none rigged ) part of the market, but I guess I was too naive. Jim
