[11:09] {fernp} sorry Vad
[11:09] {Threei} why would I
[11:09] {Threei} I was mocking C
[11:09] {fernp} i'll never do it again
[11:09] {Les} didn't realise you were long too
[11:09] {Les} ok. mocking C is good
[11:09] {Threei} scalp type I
[11:10] {Les} out +.05 ty fern
[11:10] {Threei} big shares, get out into buying at the offer, get ECN rebate
[11:10] {Threei} eats nicely into commissions
[11:11] {Threei} all Laser users realize how it works?
[11:12] {nemo} if you create liquidity=sell, they pay you as long as it's not at the bid/offer when you enter the order?
[11:12] {magoo} looky WFC vad
[11:12] {magoo} u dismissed me
[11:12] {Threei} wow... I can't decode that nemo
[11:12] {Les} AIG hovering around 36
[11:13] {nemo} selling creates liquidity, yes?
[11:13] {Threei} I didn't mags, just had no firm read
[11:13] {Threei} no
[11:13] {nemo} oh
[11:13] {magoo} u must provide liquidity
[11:13] {Threei} adding your order creates liquidity
[11:13] {nemo} I was looking at wfc break of .50 back around 10:30
[11:13] {Threei} taking out someone's takes out liquidity
[11:14] {Threei} example will be the simplest way to illustrate the concept
[11:14] {magoo} i mentioned it .35 area
[11:14] {Threei} stock is trading 20 x 20.10
[11:14] {Threei} you want to buy
[11:14] {Threei} hit 20.10 offer - you take away liquidity
[11:14] {Threei} bid at any price BELOW 20.10 - you add liquidity
[11:14] {Threei} you want to sell:
[11:15] {Threei} hit the bid at 20 - you take away liquidity
[11:15] {Threei} offer at any price HIGHER that 20 - you add liquidity
[11:15] {Threei} of course in order to get a fill you need someone to hit your order
[11:15] {Threei} that's why it's better to exit into strong buying,
[11:16] {Threei} offering your shares into surge
[11:16] {Threei} like C at .05
[11:16] {Threei} but when your order is taken out - ECN pays you
[11:16] {Threei} look at your Analysis window
[11:17] {Threei} where there is a breakdown separately passtru and comm
[11:17] {Threei} you will see how your passsthru number drops if you got hit on adding liquidity order
[11:18] {Threei} and if you manage to get it on both ends - you will actually see positive number in there
[11:18] {Threei} rare case though, to get bioth in and out adding liquidity
[11:18] {magoo} AIG
[11:20] {magoo} off ,50 imo
[11:20] {Threei} was it understandable guys?
[11:21] {magoo} ya ya
[11:21] {strider} I understood it..
[11:21] {strider} But I already knew it.
[11:21] {Threei} ok, I'll go back to sleep then
[11:22] {strider} o you know what the 'give up' colum is, on the summary sheet.?
[11:22] {strider} do
[11:22] {strider} column
[11:22] {Threei} hmm?
[11:23] {strider} Look on the 'print summary', under files.
[11:23] {strider} There's a column called 'give up'.
[11:23] {Threei} huh... no, lol
[11:23] {strider} I think that might be Trev's profit.
[11:25] {dino} stood stand under above
[11:25] {dino} nav puzzles me
[11:25] {strider} 'stood stand under above' puzzles me.
[11:26] {dino} the my job is done
[11:26] {Threei} lol
[11:26] {strider} I see.
[11:26] {Threei} I guess ask Trev, strider, no idea what that is
[11:27] {Threei} could be SEC fee
[11:27] {strider} k
[11:27] {strider} As in, "OK, youse, gyse, give it up."
[11:27] {magoo} AIG invalidated

[12:35] {Threei} - Indirect bidders took 29% of competitive bids at Jan reopening with 49.9% alloted at the high.
[12:35] {nemo} There's what's called a bell curve
[12:35] {nemo} represents standard distribution across a valid sample size
[12:36] {nemo} So when you're measuring something, IQ for instance
[12:36] {Les} yeh I know what bell curve is
[12:36] {nemo} You have a large enough sample size, the sample will follow a standard distribution
[12:36] {nemo} o.k.
[12:36] {nemo} So, let's say the masses are a good size sample
[12:36] {nemo} How do you think I.Q. will distribute across it?
[12:37] {nemo} O.K...
[12:37] {nemo} Well, basically, 50% will have a lower than average I.Q. (under 100)
[12:37] {Les} hmmm tempted to say uneven distribution
[12:38] {nemo} So 50% of the people don't have the wiring to think critically in the first place
[12:38] {Les} ok
[12:38] {nemo} That leaves 50% who have some intellectual capability
[12:38] {Les} what's your excuse Nemo?
[12:38] {Les} :D
[12:38] {nemo} drugs and alcohol
[12:38] {Les} oh
[12:39] {Les} I wasn't funny
[12:39] {nemo} oh, and my daddy made me where makeup as a child
[12:39] {nemo} Anyway...
[12:39] {dino} no high heels?
[12:39] {nemo} tough as a kid
[12:40] {nemo} so...50% are left with some capacity, although one could argue to really have the ability to comprehend what is going on (as if we have a clue) you have to be a bit farther up the curve
[12:40] {nemo} so let's say 35%
[12:40] {nemo} then there is the matter of interest, laziness, and time, not to mention previous indoctrinated tendencies
[12:41] {nemo} those all come into affect
[12:41] {nemo} that's why the masses will always be the masses
[12:42] {Les} still, no longer able to chop their heads off at kings pleasure
[12:42] {Les} significant progress has been made
[12:43] {nemo} Plu cest change, plu cest le meme chose
[12:43] {dino} and the masses grow if you dumb them down
[12:44] {Les} I personally think marxists are full of it and society is evolving ok.
[12:44] {nemo} and more people are part of the "masses" then they like to believe
[12:44] {Les} of course its one step forward, two back
[12:44] {Les} have you read "Carrie" - steven king?

[12:45] {nemo} got a Victorian house, with a creepy iron gate out front
[12:46] {Les} I think novel is half decent reportage of society as author sees it at the time
[12:46] {nemo} yeah, Sissy Space, John Travolta, and, Spielberg's ex
[12:47] {Les} the horror isn't carrie, but the bloody teenagers tormenting her to commit horror
[12:47] {Les} half decent novel for kids to read, to learn to respect others
