Warning to the thread, Shorters lurking..We have seen how news articles can influence our stocks. Although I have had NITE on watch and am 'ready to be bullish' on this one there is a group of stocks that have been 'eyed' by shorters and NITE, NAVR and AMTD are a few of them. Whether we agree or not is moot here. The rather well written article is in this weeks Business Week deserves your attention if you are planning to 'bargain shop' the E-brokers or E-bank stocks.

I say go with the trend. The short sellers mention the risk online brokerage firms face from competition, especially with competition now from established firms like MER and others. I'm not saying to short these stocks, but from experiences with AMZN, AOL, both long and short I found that going with the 'sentiment' is much more profitable than 'loyalty and hanging on to old favorites' for dear life. Your tenacity and loyalty will not necessarily be rewarded in this case.

Michael B ....TLTG looks like it has already made quite a run up, this is a very new Co. with not much outside what you read on the various threads....
I am very wary about OTC BB stocks as all of them have a fabulous story and one never knows which one is going to fly and my view on this is unless I KNOW the Co. PERSONALLY or am very comfortable with their business plan I DO NOT BUY, once it comes onto the NAZ that is a different story.
With respect to Cudawada's post << I will stay out until the spread tightens or the price drops further. People are selling ex-dividend right now.>>
Best wishes,
Burjis

Michael, I asked you once before and am now asking again. According to Microsoft Investor, JEF (Jefferies Securities) owns 80% of the shares of ITG. If this is true wouldn't JEF at around 25 be a good way to play ITG, in much the same way as SWS seemed to ride the up road partially because of the shares of NITE they own. TIA, Debra
