Me too, its going to be a miracle if I survive. Perhaps all of my pennies will be enough to place a Capstone above my grave.

Nothing but machine trading today--100 share lots being fired off at .0001 cent. Another not so interesting article in the WSJ yesterday dealt with the computer algorithms that instantly see orders as they emerge (eMerge--another miracle I saw it disappear) and instantly trade ahead of them. This SEC investigation looks at "Dark Pools" and "Shadow Trading." Basically the traders, Pipeline & Milstream, would fill an order and then sell it to the client. On a sell order Milstream sells "borrowed" shares then buy the clients shares and then use them to cover the short.

More about Dark Pools Pipeline-Milstream and of course Direct Edge. Its a rigged game for sure.
