The 3's did hold......I have been on the phone w/Stottrade for the past half hour about why my order placed at 12:45 when we we're still T2 was only filled for 50 thousand (charging me the fee) and hanging out the balance of the order (950K) for the rest of the day w/o the fill. So he calls the desk and calls me back to tell me that I was just outta luck because yes, I should have been filled and I am at the top of the list, BUT the one and only sale of 999,999 at 13:45 was given to ANOTHER MM to "cover" what was about to be a "short"........so I am saying, "I don't give a crap about his short, you guys NSS everyday, and you owe me the fill" and he goes on about how there is nothing he can do........
This is why you should have 3 trading accounts people w 3 different brokers and I use my ET most of the time but you alternate them when necessary. I hate ST but was the one I had the order with while I was out this afternoon. But it also told me that the MM's do not have any shares in reserve after selling the amount they sold to us today.
On the bright side, I don't know if anyone has noticed but there were 70 MILLION BUYS today vs. only 4 (yes 4) million sells......that means 70 MM shares were bought at T2 and T3.......is it me, or is this seriously primed to run??
JMHO
