    I'm confused all to hell about internet stock broker routing

    I know to avoid the ones with dealing desks ?who are usually market makers?

    Then I was trying to find one which was a "true ecn"

    MBTrading looks really good to me and the guy who calls me says they're an exn broker which is "the same thing".

    MBTrading seems like a really good broker to me.. the service is amazing thus far



    Then, IB looks good too... and they tell me this: Interactive Brokers is considered a direct access execution firm, therefore, we are neither a dealing desk, nor an ECN broker.

                  Pardon this logical question, but if you do not have the discipline to get even the smallest aspects of your life in order... Why the hell do you think you will have the discipline to grow and manage extreme wealth?

                                Honest advice: If you made any money, take it and run, never invest in another penny stock again. You were lucky, don't confuse that for skill. There is no skill in this casino, only punters and house. You are punter. It will vaporize as quickly as it came.

                                Of course, nobody ever does that. It usually takes losing most/all of your capital..

                                And yes, i am speaking from experience ;)

                                      How are your gallery submissions going or did you get ADD and move onto something else?

                                        IB told me they allow pennies now as a "value adding service" but they don't encourage it.. definitely looks like the best pricing, though!! I can't make their minimum though. . MBTrading looks like my best option for now. . But they still charge $9

                                        I'm looking to learn to take advantage of promotions.. get in and back out.. I've successfully done so twice now but I don't hold myself out as being any kind of an expert and realize that those could have been a fluke.

                                        I definitely do not expect to be an expert or even good at trading in the first few months but these promotions seem to be fairly predicable in terms of whether or not a stock is going to move based on them..

                                        As an example I'm learning which promoters to ignore and which ones generally tend to really make a stock move.. looking at how much float there is, what the company has been doing on the inside, what they're going to spend on a promotion and several other things

                                        I thought I wanted to get into shorting pennies but it seems dumber and dumber the more I learn about it. Paying extra fees for this and for that, not being able to borrow most pennies and on and on and on. That is disappointing to say the least. It is a LOT easier to find a successful promotion after the fact and take advantage of it then IF you could find borrows. Sigh.

                                          You probably do, but at least I'm trying to do some things now. I haven't done shit in years.

                                            What you say doesn't hurt me Mr. Epitome- my skin is motherfucking THICK. I said your posts are stupid, and they are. You seem to be on here 24/7 to critique me the minute I post. Who in the world has time to be a full time hater? Why do I even have a hater if I am not successful? Haters gonna hate, right, but go and find someone who is successful at least. Because hell- you're essentially failing at being a hater- and that is worse than my lack of success.

                                            What gallery submissions? Believe it or not- TGP isn't dead- I make galleries for The Hun to this day--- they're great people and the traffic converts. No one else will list anything anymore and no TGPs are worth buying PAs for. I tried WS/AL4 and it was worthless and Pierre never made sense when I e-mailed him. I had ONE pa with Shemp a couple of years ago- he's a helluva guy and the PA I had from him definitely was worth it.

                                                    As if I was a big deal.. I bought a $40 account
                                                    Thanks for always treating me with respect and being so helpful, though
                                                    That's what America use to be all about, too, customer service and treating people right- it's too bad that no one gives a fuck anymore.

                                                      TGP was a real good business...people paying to get listed, new content everyday that i didnt have to pay for, advertisers prepaying for banner or text links, adulation from the masses...it was almost unreal..i had no reason not to treat people right...
