computers running the markets

I've noticed some satrange phenomenons in my trades lately, too. When I sell in an up market and I get a way lower price-wth? Who knows what the real price you sold at? We just believe what we are told by computers. I think selling at the market is dead. On the 1000 drop, the exchange only allowed sales that were up to 60% down. What about 59.9%? Unbelievable that there are no stops built in - gotta say I'm spooked.

Wow I never thought of that, did anyone have a market price sell order on a stock on thursday and got a shit kicking? I recently made a 100 percent gain on Canwest when they aquired rights to make a new tv program, I sold out because the kid is just screwing away his fathers empire really fast and the company is basically tits up. Kids RESP is now doubled in 3 months shit house luck is all I can say. Now invested in AAPL at the high and is dropping since I bought. I think she will come back. 165 million trades on GE friday. Your not so dumb, someone somewhere made a shit load of money thursday. Questions need to be answered.

Good on you for APPL, but how high can that stuff go? I've been heavy into YLO.un for 4 months and its backed off a bit these 2 weeks. Looking hard at MMP.un. Take a peek on Bigcharts to see the dividends. Also the charts on STockcharts shows a break-out is due. Harper should reinstate the trust funds.
