Good luck talking to a trader about it....I've been given such silly "excuses", especially when my purchase won't go through for weeks and weeks, yet you see tons of other similar trades go through, at MY limit order price. I've "squeezed" out of traders that there are many, many games that the MMs play, even preferring one brokerage to another, etc....Usually they would tell me "Just hang in there, and eventually it should go through". I don't think it is intentional "painting" of your trades only, but I'm sure your broker will give you some sort of "lame" excuse. It's an MMs world of profitability, and it all stinks.

I agree with you....it's not good to be wearing "shorts" while trading certain stocks on the New York exchange this particular January. As far as I am concerned, I take solice in the fact that no person, including the President of the United States is obligated to tell the press the truth. Look at Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinski. THAT's an American President....why then would a Russian Billionaire who operates hundreds of blind trusts admit he had knowledge of anything when it's in his best interest to deny everything, and he is under no legal obligation to tell the truth. If it was a congressional hearing or SEC hearing, fine, but a Russsian Billionare making statements to a Canadian reporter is under no obligation to ever tell the truth in the first place. Deep down these people hate Americans, why would they tell us the truth, they just want to own our property, basketball teams, and live high on the hog in a completely different country conjuring up schemes just like this one could very well be.
