Yeah, except that it won't just go up .01... it will go up .01 for every trade made (or more--I don't know the ratio)

Posted by: secretstalker (a.k.a TheWeekendWarrior) on Nov 02, 06:27 in response to islander's post would it end manipulation? when a stock may only go up...

So if 50 people read something on the board and immediately buy the stock, it can still go up .63 in a matter of seconds. It will be interesting to see if this is a long-term solution to the amount of cash lying around in bigger ports. Right now, people are investing and buying into everything because they can get 25k more shares but it could leave less cash (at least in smaller ports) for daytrading.

Big changes: what are the consequences? petz Nov 02, 01:57

A lot of stocks becoming grossly overpriced by people blindly adding another 25k when they're already overpriced. {nm} secretstalker Nov 02, 04:13

which in theory creates more opportunities on the short side... {nm} Oleg Max Nov 02, 04:18

I think that these new rules favour the ports that are getting it right. If on the other hand your port scotty Nov 02, 04:21

Do you think these prices will drop again or will they just settle at a price that's a bit higher in general? {nm} jeankie Nov 02, 04:37

Oh, they'll drop and woe be to those who don't reverse them before they do. {nm} secretstalker Nov 02, 05:11

^the above was my contribution to Colbert's "Restore the Fear" campaign :) {nm} secretstalker Nov 02, 05:11

would it end manipulation? when a stock may only go up .01 instead of .63, incentive to move stocks intentionally would be less? {nm} islander Nov 02, 05:31

That is true. I am cash broke and my port is no longer a "small" one. Guillo Nov 02, 07:15

I suspect cash scarcity actually increases day trading. If you don't have spare cash, to jump on anything moving you have to liquidate RogerMore Nov 02, 08:24

That depends of the kind of player you are. Short Term Yes, Long Term No. Guillo Nov 02, 10:26

sorry it should read "still can not make" {nm} Guillo Nov 02, 10:27

great, now I can lose more on the weekend openers! {nm} tribality Nov 02, 06:28

here is my take, and I think this was Dmac's motivation (pure speculation on my part) ndmaster Nov 02, 07:36

The rich get richer. all good {nm} DudeAbides Nov 02, 08:51

Time for an annual new 5% tax on profits? Yea, I said it! =D {nm} jgbaxter Nov 02, 09:43
