 I believe these trades are done on Selectnet, Instinet, various ECNs,etc.

Thanks -

btw I gave up trading equities too as I became aware that they all tended to
move as a group. Made more sense to trade the indexes. But lately I've been
getting back into it. Stuff like QCOM and JDSU is just too hard to pass up!
And don't forget the recent gap out move for CMGI.

Overall have had the best results by waiting for a signal on the overall
market, but then buying leading stocks instead of lame-duck sp futures. And
then hanging onto them for the double or more. My account is a lot happier.
