Big changes: what are the consequences?

Posted by: petz on Nov 02, 01:57

- Max now by 75000: apart from bigger wins and losses, I don't think it will change much (on Monday the stocks only changed, because most people were maxing out the stocks they already owned).


- Price increments by 0.01: I think this has a much bigger impact on the prices, at least for day traders. As I understand it, the prices increase or decrease much slower now.

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

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) secretstalker Nov 02, 06:27

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
