IT is etrade...some knuclehead is selling their shares through etrade and its keeping the price of the shares down. If you have money to buy more its a good thing. if you have a bazzilion shares already its a bad thing. dont worry though because things are about to break lose to the upside and the etrade guy is going to look silly
etmm is the market maker (however more like market manipulator) etrade uses imo
here is a pic of lvl 2 showing the games etmm is trying to play to scare shareholders to sell to him at the bid. if you watch were he is at the ask compared to every body else.
I hear ya poker champ on the making money on other things, I do quite well on bodog in the tourneys... yourself ??? And whats yur moniker so I know to watch out for you lol...
You have done quite well by following your friend from Wheaton and you have a nice size mid block like alot of us at a really enviable average, IMO.. It is wise to diversify profits from other ventures into the markets and if even by blind luck you parked some of that here I think you found yourself with a nice hand post flop and should continue to holdem here.
