As a predominantly Christian people, Westerners think they know the Bible pretty well. But not everybody realizes that many of the most iconic features of Christianity were never mentioned by the holy book or the church, but were actually pulled from the ass of some poet or artist years after God turned in his final draft of the Bible. Things like ...
The image of an angel is so recognizable that you can immediately spot one if somebody makes its shape in some snow. They're sparkly people with two white wings and occasionally swords, who sit on clouds ripping out awesome harp solos while protecting humans from harm. So basically, the protagonists of the next Stephenie Meyer novel.
The sex scene will be as unsettling as it is improbable.
The Only Problem Is ...
Now, there are angels in the Bible. But if you encountered some of the angels it describes, you'd probably need a shotgun under your bed to sleep soundly for the rest of your life.*
*NOTE: that is a joke. If angels turn out to be real, and you encounter one, do not shoot it with a shotgun.
There are several kinds of angels in the Bible and you've probably heard about some of them, like archangels, cherubim and seraphim. They all look different, and very few actually have wings. Those who do, like the seraphim, actually have six wings and need all of them to cover their body, lest they blind/incinerate whoever is unlucky enough to bump into one.
This is a seraph, trying with all its might not to burn you alive.
Then there are the thrones, which are described in the Bible as "wheels within wheels," the rims of which are covered in eyes.
Whatever it is, we're pretty sure it can see.
Then we have the cutest order of angels, the cherubim. As we all know, a cherub is a baby angel, usually with a little bow and arrow and a leaf protecting his modesty. Except that Ezekiel 10:14 describes them as frightening four-headed monstrosities that included the faces of a man, an eagle and a lion.
Actually Came From:
Painters took liberties when portraying angels, and just like putting capes on superheroes, giving them wings was a visually interesting way to identify who was the angel in a painting full of regular dudes (wings were also used in the early church to denote that these creatures lived in the sky). Archangels like Michael and Gabriel were given contemporary military garb.
Which apparently included "hair like a lady."
Cherubs in particular didn't get their extreme makeover until Renaissance sculptors revived the ancient practice of putti, which depicted cute babies dancing and playing around on infant tombs. The rediscovery and reimplementation of these little cuties brought Cupid-esque cherubs into vogue, as demonstrated by Tomba di Ilaria del Carretto:
Whaddya know? Those dancing naked babies do make this tomb less unsettling.
Lastly, the thing about the harps was actually invented by John Milton who wrote about angels "plucking harps" in Paradise Lost, basically just because it was the cutest thing he could pull out of his ass.
4The Devil Is Red and Has Horns, a Pitchfork and Goat Legs
The devil, also known as Satan, Beelzebub, Lucifer, the Prince of Darkness, Mr. Scratch, Old Nick and Al Pacino, is the cloven-hoofed, pitchfork-wielding, red-skinned, horned king of hell and founder of the metal genre of music. He's also a gambler and a businessman, willing to make bets or contracts with you and grant you wishes/musical abilities in exchange for your immortal soul. He looks like this:
The Only Problem Is ...
Not one inch of that is in the Bible. Anywhere. Not even the goatee (and this is a book where every other character has a goatee. Or at least we picture it that way).
So what does Satan look like in the Bible? We don't know -- he's never physically described except when he visits Eve as a snake, and some think that the snake in the Garden of Eden wasn't actually Satan anyway. Other than that, he's just a disembodied ghost-voice, kind of like a really evil Obi-Wan Kenobi.
"You should totally try crystal meth."
Actually Came From:
Medieval artists who wanted to portray the devil visually had to take a bit of artistic license, generally drawing whatever seemed evil at the time. No single source is responsible for the common depiction of Old Nick, but he picked up bits and pieces of his traditional costume as time went on, like a hipster trawling dozens of op shops over the course of a month.
Speaking of hipsters, what about that pitchfork? It's really a trident, a popular accessory of the Greek and Roman gods. The horns? Possibly a hand-me-down from animal-worshipping religions that Christianity didn't like. Scholars believe that Satan got his goat-legs as recently as the 19th century during the Romantic period, when neo-paganism came into vogue and a lot of writers, poets and artists started talking up the Greek goat-god Pan as a source of their inspiration, a claim about which numerous panties became quite tightly knotted.
Imagine this guy with a pitchfork.
As for the devil's famous habit of gambling with people's souls, that's not canonical either. Though his job is to tempt people to sin, he never grants anybody miraculous powers. We have an old German legend to thank for that. The legend of Faust, made popular later when it was dramatized by Christopher Marlowe, tells the story of a doctor who gets bored and decides to strike a deal with Lucifer in return for knowledge, converting the devil from the Prince of Darkness into a shady snake-oil salesman.
Alas, the devil got more emo with time.

What do you consider your best moment in racing, so far?
"I have a lot, but I have to say the pinnacle would have to be the winning the 2013 NASCAR Nationwide Series Championship with Austin Dillon and the No. 3 team."
What is the toughest part about your job?
"The travel is tough because of how much I have to be away from home and my dog."
What goals do you have for 2014 season?

It always feels like homecoming, and reminds me of where everything got started for me. I have had some really great memories there with Brendan (Gaughan) and Shane (Wilson) and also had some heartbreak."
Where are some of the best places to visit while in California?
"I would recommend one of the National Parks, Yosemite, Kings Canyon or Sequoya. They are all beautiful places. I don't think there is anything else like them."

C&S Baseball Museum
Last season, MLBlogs switched from the entirely free mlb.com to the potentially expensive wordpress.com. The switch probably didn't affect the bulk of mlbloggers. But for those of us who take thousands of pictures at the ballpark, it was definitely not a good development. When the switch took effect, I already had about four times the storage allowed for a free wordpress account. I didn't want to lose any of my blog content. So I started PDF'ing all of my entries and uploading all of our panoramas to our personal site.
Well, I kept uploading and uploading and uploading…and it turned into something that I think is pretty cool: The Cook & Son Baseball Museum. Check it out, and enjoy:
14 Comments
Wow! I just checked it out, and its really cool!
Thanks, guys!
My Cook & Son site is hosted on Bluehost.com. It's something like $5 or $6 month and it includes tons of storage space and the ability to have your own email addresses (for example, firstname.lastname@example.com).
Dear Todd,
My name is Chang, a graphic designer and I am also die hard fan of baseball!
I came across your blog and found wonderful information and photos. I am wondering about whether I may use one of your baseball park photos for my project. I tried to find out your contact info (such as email or phone) but couldn't. Please let me know how do I proceed my inquiry.
Wow! This is wonderful! What a treasure for your kids! I am going to Seattle for my first time in June to see my boys in Blue (Dodgers). So far we only have reserved the flight arriving Thursday 6/7 and leaving Sunday 6/10. First we got our road trip to San Diego for the Dodgers Opener there!

11 April 2012, Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), Suva –
Pacific Island countries participating in a regional energy workshop this week expressed their commitment to improving energy efficiency by participating in the Pacific Appliance Labelling and Standards (PALS) programme.
Currently 13 Pacific Island countries are participating in the PALS programme, which is managed by SPC.
In his opening remarks, Tim Farrell of Australia's Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency said, 'I commend your countries' participation in this workshop because it acknowledges the importance your governments place on improving energy efficiency.
'The Australian government has now committed Fast Start Finance to the PALS programme until June 2013,' he said. 'Australia will partner with SPC and with Pacific Islands that plan to align with existing energy efficiency standards and labelling programmes, such as the successful programme that has been jointly delivered by Australia and New Zealand over the past 25 years.'
The PALS Programme is designed to assist Pacific countries implement labelling and standards for energy-using equipment such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and lighting.
Over 50 countries around the world now have energy labelling or standards programmes in place. Those that have no standards risk being the dumping ground for inefficient equipment and appliances.
The need for introducing a PALS programme to the Pacific region was realised at the 42nd meeting of Pacific Islands Forum Leaders in September 2011, where the Leaders expressed support for the development of effective management of fuel supply risks, and for meeting energy efficiency targets — including expanding the existing electrical appliance energy efficiency standards and labelling programme — in order to help realise significant energy savings.
At that same meeting, Australia's Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced her support for the introduction of energy labelling and standards for electrical appliances in the Pacific region. This led to the establishment of a PALS programme at SPC, supported by Australia.
'Implementing appliance labelling and standards is an important strategy for mitigating climate change,' Director of SPC's Economic Development Division John Hogan told the delegates in his welcome remarks.
'Studies have concluded that it is more cost-effective for the Pacific region to import more energy-efficient refrigerators, air conditioners and lighting than it is to import diesel fuel,' he said.
At the PALS Implementation Workshop this week, the participating governments will begin drafting implementation plans to enable the expansion of the PALS programme throughout the Pacific region.
The workshop is chaired by Ms Makereta Sauturaga, the newly appointed PALS Programme Manager at SPC.
With 2012 being declared the International Year of Sustainable Energy for All, the outcomes of this workshop are seen as a major step forward towards achieving the goal of sustainable energy for all in the Pacific.

Berlin arson suspect not in court
BARRE An arrest warrant has been issued for a Northfield man who failed to show up for his arraignment on a felony arson charge.
Kemp C. Stickney, 25, is facing one count of first-degree arson in Washington County criminal court. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 10 years in prison and a $2,000 fine.
According to the police affidavit, emergency crews responded to a structure fire Aug. 12 on West Hill Road in Berlin. Police say an explosion had been reported before they arrived and they found a two-story shed with flames inside.
Police say the shed, which was around 100 feet from a residence, was destroyed by the fire.
Police say Joan Batchelder, who owns the nearby residence and is Stickneys mother, told them her son was missing, along with a white Subaru. Police then issued a be on the lookout alert for both Stickney and the vehicle to check on his well-being.
Batchelder told police her son has extreme schizophrenia, as well as other mental disorders, and was heavily medicated. She was afraid her son had started the fire, since he was at her home before the fire started and she saw a red flicker outside that turned out to be the shed fire.
As police left to look for Stickney, a white Subaru moved toward them at high speed, they say. The vehicle came to a quick stop and Stickney got out asking if his mother was all right, according to the affidavit. Stickney told police he left to go to a friends house and didnt see anything suspicious when he left.
Stickney was taken to his mother, who asked him if he had started the fire. Police say he admitted starting the blaze. According to the affidavit, he told his mother, in the presence of police, that voices told him to grab a gas can, spill the gas on the shed and set it on fire.
Police say the shed was estimated to be worth at least $80,000.
Stickney was taken to Central Vermont Medical Center for a psychiatric exam, and police say he voluntarily checked himself into the psychiatric ward.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON The House on Thursday cleared bills to keep the government running through April and...

Tesla's Model X Receives $40 Million in Advanced Sales Just One Day After Unveiling

Sender E-mail
Tesla Model X electric SUV crossover vehicle
It was also the third most searched term on Google
Just last week, Tesla Motors revealed
the all-electric Model X crossover
, which is the follow-up to its Model S. It has been less than a week since the EV's introduction, and it has already achieved star status with car lovers everywhere.
According to
The Detroit News
, Tesla received $40 million in pre-sales of the all-electric Model X just one day after unveiling the car. It was also the third most searched term on Google.
"On Thursday evening, the night of the reveal, traffic to teslamotors.com increased 2,800 percent," said Tesla. "Two-thirds of all visitors were new to the website."
The all-electric Model X was introduced for the first time on February 9. The new EV features dual motor all wheel drive, the choice between a 60 or 85 kWh battery, and falcon doors. The Model X can sprint from 0 to 60 in about 4.4 seconds, and offers a rear-mounted 300 HP motor and an optional 150 HP front-mounted motor. The driving range is between 214 and 267 miles.
Price hasn't been announced for the Model X yet, but Tesla said it will be competitively priced with other premium SUVs.
While the Model X has been receiving plenty of attention, it's not the only one. The
Model S
, which is Tesla's full-sized battery electric sedan that is expected to be delivered in mid 2012, had a 30 percent boost in reservations last week after the Model X was revealed.
Tesla initially entered the electric vehicle arena with
the Roadster
, which is a $100,000 two-seater that launched in 2008. The Model S is Tesla's second electric vehicle, which features a 40 kWh lithium-ion battery pack (or 85 kWh battery pack in the top-end model), 160-mile range (300 miles on the top-end model), and a $57,400 to $87,400 price tag.
Model X production will begin at the end of 2013, with market launch scheduled for 2014. It is expected to qualify for the $7,500 tax credit, and Tesla hopes to produce 10,000 to 15,000 units annually.

Republicans Block Republicans on 'Fiscal Cliff' Deal
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- He'll have his own party to blame.
House Speaker John Boehner released a statement Thursday night that he did not have the votes from members to pass his "Plan B" fiscal cliff proposal.
"The House did not take up the tax measure today because it did not have sufficient support from our members to pass," Boehner said in a statement issued to reporters. "Now it is up to the president to work with Sen.
The move marks a critical stumble for the Republican leader, who had been attempting to rally his base behind an alternative budget plan to President Obama's.
Reports emerged earlier Thursday that White House officials said Boehner couldn't gather enough Republican support for his own bill to succeed in the House.
Reports also revealed that some Republican members of the House had refused to accept a deal that proposed income tax increases across all tax brackets. Boehner's proposal included raising marginal rates on $1 million or more on income earned.
The move could provide a crucial bargaining chip for Obama and Senate Democrats, who have operated lock-step on fiscal cliff proposals.

State of the Arts: Irene fails to dampen Weston's excellenceApril 07,2013Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
Producing director Steve Stettler has seen the Weston Playhouse Theatre Company through some difficult challenges in recent years.
Editor's note: This continues a weekly series of interviews with the state's arts leaders.
By Jim Lowe
Staff Writer
Weston Playhouse, it is generally conceded, is king in Vermont's theater world, and the company was dealt a double whammy that certainly befits a king.
Not only was the summer theater hit by the Great Recession but Tropical Storm Irene flooded the whole bottom floor of the Weston Playhouse, the historic community-owned home of the Weston Playhouse Theatre Company (its formal name). The damage was enormous.
"For us that meant a considerable capital project that, just a month before Irene, had created the theater's first orchestra pit in 75 years and expanded dressing rooms, improved access by creating an elevator between the main floor and the lower floor where our cabaret and our restaurant are located, all of which was wiped out by the flood," Steve Stettler, WPTC's resident producing artistic director, said of the August 2011 disaster.
"Happily, by the next summer, our friends had rallied to the cause and helped us raise another half-million to replace it all — and do it even better," he said.
"I would say that the last few years have held the greatest unanticipated challenges in our 25-year 'reign of terror' running Weston Playhouse," Stettler added with a laugh.
Weston Playhouse, since 1937, has been presenting professional summer theater in what the Boston Globe once dubbed "the most beautiful theater in New England."
Specializing in Broadway musicals, but regularly stepping off the beaten path, Weston each season presents seven full productions, four on the main stage at the Playhouse, and two Equity and one Young Company production for families at "Other Stages," its alternate theater in the Weston Rod & Gun Club. (Weston is an Equity professional theater in contract with the national actors' union, Actors' Equity Association.)
This summer's offerings include the hit comedy, "Educating Rita," and the popular musical, "42nd Street," as well as the less-known rock musical "Next to Normal," on the main stage. The season will close with "To Kill a Mockingbird," which play to school audiences as well.
Other Stages will feature the premieres of the musical "Loving Leo" and the one-man show "This Blessed Plot." The Young Company will present "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day."
In addition, Weston offers its après-theater Cabaret, with three programs annually, after performances during the first three main stage productions. Also offered are a series of single special events and, throughout the year, education and outreach programs.
For 25 years now, Stettler has been part of a triumvirate of producing directors, along with Malcolm Ewen and Tim Fort, leading the theater. A number of years ago, Stettler became the year-round resident producing director and a managing director, Stuart Duke, was added to the permanent staff.
Weston currently operates on a $1.5 million budget, brought down from nearly $1.7 million by the recession. About 60 percent comes from ticket sales, while 40 percent is from contributions and grants.
"It's pretty healthy," Stettler said. "The national split these days is about 50-50."
Although Irene did plenty of damage, it was the recession starting in 2008 that really hurt Weston.
"So it really was our 2009 season in which we were actually able to anticipate a very different world and made significant cuts and changes to accommodate that," Stettler said.
That meant drastic curtailment, not once but twice.
"We did it then and we did it again a year ago when we found that, again, probably as a result of both the Irene challenges and the not completely improved economy, we were still not running at the level we hoped to," Stettler said.
"And in both cases it meant taking what was already a fairly lean machine, given the size and ambition of our working programs, and cutting it down to the bare essentials."
That meant eliminating some of the few year-round staff positions, outsourcing the work, and freezing wages for both year-round and seasonal staff and artists. Instead of presenting premieres of expensive full-scale musicals, like 2011's "Saint-Ex" and 2012's "Pregnancy Pact," Weston is presenting the much smaller "Loving Leo" at the Rod & Gun Club this year.
"We had to get rid of what, at that point, looked to be frills but hadn't felt that way before," Stettler said. "We used to feed the entire company at our expense in the cabaret on any day in which they had a matinee and an evening performance, so they didn't have the burden of having to get back to their various houses and prepare a meal."
Of course that, and many other "frills," ended.
But Weston worked hard to make sure that audiences saw none of this.
"Let's face it, all of us, whether we're in the arts or not, have had to learn to operate differently in these past few years," Stettler said. "So what remained most important to us was the quality of the art and the way in which we treat our artists — and still provide the service and entertainment and stimulation to our audiences.
"I think everyone involved would say that hasn't changed — and, if anything, it's continued to progress," he said.
For the future, Weston is focusing on the size and makeup of its audiences. Several years ago, a survey found that Weston's audience was comprised of roughly one-third year-round residents, one-third second-home owners, and one-third regular visitors.
"We probably know more of our audience, more often by face than by name, than most theaters in the country because one or most of us who produce here are in the lobby of one or both of the theater spaces most evenings," Stettler said. "Our perception is that is still roughly the split."
But attendance has definitely gone down in recent years.
"At our height we would have close to 20,000-21,000 people attending the theater. We've seen that drop by several thousand," Stettler said.
"One of the things we're working very hard at — and we've got a number of initiatives we're going to be unveiling soon this year to do that — is not just to reach a larger and broader audience, but also a younger audience — something that the arts, really nationally and internationally, is struggling to do."
Stettler believes that among today's younger generation, fewer and fewer are being introduced to live performing arts.
"We feel that it's absolutely essential, not just to our survival, but more importantly, to the living of a full life, to make sure that the performing arts are still of value in the lives of everybody who grows up around here," he said.
"That makes the school programs around here important, but it also means we have to play with curtain times, pricing, programming — with other opportunities related to the social experiences of people coming together at the theater."
With its history of professional success, it seems likely that Weston Playhouse will continue to bring topnotch, compelling theater to Vermont audiences.
"We're very excited and encouraged with both our plans for the summer and ambitious plans for the future. I think one of the things about which we're most proud is that we've proved as an institution to be adaptable and resilient," he said.
"And I think that's absolutely necessary in these times."MORE IN Central VermontMIDDLEBURY According to WebMD, Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes a persons muscles ...

Barre Town bike path plan due next week
BARRE TOWN The Select Board is officially on the clock when it comes to deciding how to get from here to there with respect to two currently unconnected segments of bike path.
The board held yet another public hearing this week on a proposal that has galvanized one neighborhood and that produced no clear-cut recommendation from a committee that studied it. Afterward, board members agreed to decide how to proceed when they meet again Tuesday.
They arent looking forward to it.
This is a tough one, Selectman Jeff Newton said. No matter what youre going to do youre either going to spend a lot of money or ruffle a lot of feathers, and I dont want to do either.
Newton and the rest of the five-member board will have to pick one or punt, because the list of options is limited.
By Newtons count there are four. One is to do nothing, while another would involve kicking the issue back to a committee that has studied and in some case re-studied alternate routes, including the two that are still on the table.
One of those routes, the favored choice after a consultant-led process that initially ended in June, has provoked a firestorm of opposition among residents of Lower Sterling Hill Road. The other, which would empty onto Pouliot Avenue in neighboring Barre, would cost nearly $1.6 million. Thats more than twice the $700,000 price consultants have placed on the Sterling Hill route.
Enter the Select Board, which, over the past few months, has heard emphatically from residents of Lower Sterling Hill Road that they want no part of a path that would run through their quiet neighborhood and up a currently wooded hillside to Websterville.
Given the narrowness of the South Barre side street and its popularity as a seasonal shortcut, neighbors claim the route would be unsafe. They are also concerned the proposed path would attract unfamiliar people to their neighborhood, scar the hillside, and possibly exacerbate stormwater problems that have twice (in 2007 and 2011) washed the steep upper section of Sterling Hill Road down onto their properties.
Those concerns were aired again Tuesday night during a public hearing that was billed as the last chance for residents to weigh in on plans for a connector path. The connector would link the bike path that exists behind Barre Town Middle and Elementary School in Websterville with the one that runs into the city and past its elementary school from Bridge Street in South Barre.
Though he said he hasnt yet made up his mind, Selectman Jeff Blow sought to downplay the significance of next weeks decision.
I really dont want people to get the conception that if we choose to do a route that its gospel that its going to get built, because a plan is only writing on paper, Blow said, noting that coming up with the money to build the path and securing easements would both be major hurdles.
Like others on the board, Blow said hed received calls and emails on both sides of the subject and appreciated many of the concerns and observations but was undecided.
I frankly dont know what Im going to do, he said.
Selectman Rob LaClair said he believed he knew how he was going to vote but wanted another week to think about it.
The bike path proposal has twice prompted the board to request that a committee revisit alternatives to the Sterling Hill route based on neighbors objections.
Late last year the committee rejected a $3.4 million alternative that would have come down the hill to Wilson Street before funneling cyclists onto Route 14 near Hannaford Supermarket. Subsequently asked to re-evaluate the Pouliot Avenue option, a divided committee was unable to make a meaningful recommendation to the board.
Residents of Lower Sterling Hill Road, including committee member Ken Alger and his wife, Wendy, were among those who spoke at the hearing. They reiterated concerns that their road could not safely accommodate the proposed path.
Bizhan Yahyazadeh, whose mother-in-law, Doris Riendeau, lives on Lower Sterling Hill Road, echoed that assessment, suggesting her refusal to allow a bridge needed for the proposed path to cross a corner of her property should kill that option unless the board was prepared to exercise its power of eminent domain.
If there is no agreement from (Riendeau), how are you gentlemen going to deal with it? Yahyazadeh asked the board.
Although board members indicated they would not be inclined to use eminent domain, Blow said that did not necessarily mean the Sterling Hill option was off the table.
People change their minds all the time. Property owners change, (and) different property owners may take a different position, he said.
Not everyone who spoke was opposed to the Sterling Hill option. Resident Jeff Tucker said while he understood and appreciated some of the concerns raised by neighbors, he was troubled by others.
As a taxpayer Im a little concerned when somebody says: I dont want somebody else walking down a public road in front of my house, he said.
The board also heard from resident Allan Heath, who said he believed both proposed alignments were fraught with problems. He suggested that incorporating a sidewalk and bike lane in the states planned reconstruction of Route 14 could create a loop with the existing section of bike path that runs from the city to South Barre.
Heath conceded his alternative would abandon plans to connect existing segments of bike path in Websterville and South Barre.
Creating that connection has been the goal of a study that has been underwritten by $500,000 that Barre businessman Charlie Semprebon left the town for that purpose at his death in 2009. Semprebon left an identical amount for the same purpose to the city, but finding a suitable route in the town has proven far more challenging.
The latest public hearing had resident Paul McGinley shaking his head.
Charlie (Semprebon) wouldnt like this happening, McGinley said of the wrangling over a bike path that he believed would be an important community asset.
Newton said it might be worth checking with Semprebons family to see where they stood.
I know were tasked with the decision, but if my name was tacked on a bike path that was going to ruffle a whole neighborhood, maybe Id want to hear their thoughts on it, he said.
Chairman Jay Perkins said he believed the board had enough information to decide and agreed with LaClairs call for a vote in a week.
I think we owe it to the Semprebon family and to the bike path committee to move on, he said.

Sandra Bullock, Emma Watson, More Dazzle At NYC 'Gravity' Premiere
Last night's premiere of "Gravity" in New York City was a star-studded event. Celebs including George Clooney and Sandra Bullock posed for photographers and fans at the AMC Lincoln Square Theater.
Bullock, 49, wore an asymmetrical draped white dress with black and white pumps. Her distinguished co-star Clooney looked regal in a black suit.
British actress Emma Watson opted for a short, white off-the-shoulder dress, while Katie Holmes was pretty in pink.
The space thriller centers on two astronauts whose shuttle is destroyed during a routine spacewalk. All they have is each other and a dwindling amount of oxygen as they spiral into darkness and fight to survive.
"Gravity" hits theaters on Oct. 4.

Should I continue to pump and have the babysitter give him EBM in a sippy cup, or have her give him whole milk once he is 12 months old? I just didn't know how to proceed. I'm planning on continuing to nurse him and have not cut back on any feedings. He still nurses 6-10 times per day. I guess I'm just wondering what other mothers have done in a similar situation when they decided to continue breastfeeding. Thanks!

How Your Buy and Sell Orders Get Filled
by Chris Nagy and Charles Rotblut, CFA
Christopher "Chris" Nagy is the managing director of order routing, sales and strategy at TD Ameritrade.
I spoke to him recently about the process that occurs at the brokerage firm after an investor places a stock trade.
Charles Rotblut, CFA
Charles Rotblut (CR): Let's start with the basics. An investor logs on to TD Ameritrade's website to place a stock order, and they click "Buy" or they click "Sell." What happens from that point to the time they see the trade confirmation on their screen?
Chris Nagy (CN): Most investors, and in fact a lot of people in the financial markets, believe that stocks either trade on the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market. The reality is far different from that fiction. Today there are over 40 different dark places—or 40 different execution venues—in the marketplace where trades can and do occur, and prices between those venues are changing very quickly.
What typically happens first when a client enters a trade is that, within a manner of milliseconds, there are a whole lot of checks that go on (do you have the cash in your account, and so on). Then the routing technology that we utilize actually scans the entire marketplace in a matter of microseconds to help determine the best venue to send that security to, taking into consideration the amount of the order. You've got a bid price (that's the price you can sell at), you've got an offer price (that's the price you can buy at), and the difference between the two is called the spread; quite typically in today's markets, that spread is as little as a penny. So markets have tightened. But the consequence of that is that, many times, the size of an offer does not meet the needs of the entire order.
To give you an example, say you want to buy 1,000 shares of XYZ stock, and the offer price is $20.00 per share. When you see that, you might be misled into thinking you can purchase your whole order at $20.00 per share. However, when you look at a real-time quotation, there are only 100 shares offered at that price. So circling back on our routing technology, we look at a lot of the factors: If there are 100 shares available on one exchange, are there 900 shares available on another exchange, and how can we ascertain that? We look at market makers and specialists—people who are actually providing liquidity to ensure that fair and orderly markets exist in our marketplace—to see if they can offset some of the size considerations of that order. Once all that happens, the order execution comes back. Typically that process happens in well under a second. In fact, typically it's about half a second for an order to be turned around today.
CR: Could you briefly touch on exactly what market makers and specialists do, especially given all the electronic trading that's now occurring?
CN: Today the role of a market maker is really in many ways to help individual investors get the liquidity they're seeking on their price. So let's go back to the example: You want to buy shares of XYZ and the offer price is $20.00 per share. Many times, a market maker will be able to step up and sell that stock to you at a slightly better price. So instead of receiving your execution (your trade fulfillment) at $20.00 per share, you actually receive it at a slightly better price, $19.99 per share.
The reason a market maker would be willing to step up and provide price improvement for the order is that this person is committing capital in the markets throughout the day and they're taking advantage of minute variations in stock price fluctuations as they do so. By purchasing that stock, they're able to effectively garner liquidity that helps them offset long and short positions that they have, which helps maintain order in the marketplace. Their role really helps provide a lot of consistency in the marketplace. Without liquidity being added into the marketplace—and in stocks that are not actively traded a lot of times—you can have wild price swings and sharp, severe price movements. So the role of a market maker and a specialist is: one, to help ensure that, when someone wants to buy or sell a stock, there are enough shares available; but two, to help mitigate the overall price swings in the marketplace. It's a very important role in the liquidity process and in how stocks trade in our markets today.
Market Order
A market order indicates you want the immediate execution of an order for a stated number of shares at the next available price without any other restrictions. This means your order will seek execution once it is received by the market (as long as the security is trading).
When and why you might consider using a market order:
- Price is less important: Market orders are often placed when the investor is more concerned with order execution than with the price.
- Quick entry/exit: Market orders are often placed by clients who want to enter or exit a position quickly and will accept an execution at the next available price when the order is received by the market.
- Highly liquid securities: Market orders are often placed by investors who feel there is sufficient liquidity in a security to prevent a sudden drastic change in price.
Source: TD Ameritrade.
CR: What about limit order books? Are they still being used, and could you provide a brief explanation of what they are?
CN: There are essentially two basic types of orders in the marketplace today. You've got a market order, which says, "I want to buy a stock at the best prevailing market price available," and then you have a limit order, which says, "I want to buy a stock, and here is the price that I am willing to pay for it." Again, let's go back to XYZ stock. If the stock is bid for at $19.99 per share and offered for at $20.00 per share, and you put in a limit order to buy at $19.99 per share, you actually step in line behind other people who have their orders in already—maybe even some specialists and market makers who are also looking to buy and sell stock at those prices—to purchase that stock at $19.99 per share. The difference between today's markets and the markets of the past is that, because there are so many different limit order books—I mentioned that there are over 40 different venues where you are able to trade stocks today—many times you can see the stock trade at your limit price, but you don't know exactly where that trade took place and on which exchange it took place. This is because of all the different exchanges that are out there and the competition that is out there. So that is why limit orders are important: There are times when, even though a stock may be trading at your desired price, you may not get the execution at that price right away. Patience is kind of a virtue in that regard.
CR: Is it any different if we're talking about a stock that is frequently traded on the exchanges, like ExxonMobil (XOM), versus a stock that maybe has a market capital of $100 million and is trading 50,000 shares a day?
CN: If you take a look at a stock like Exxon (XOM) or Citigroup (C), you'll notice that the spread—the difference between bid price and offer price—quite typically will be less than a penny. In fact many times trades, because of price improvement and other factors, will occur at what's called sub-penny increments. As you go down to stocks with lower capitalization and thus lower trading interests—fewer people may want to own these stocks, and fewer people trade these stocks—you tend to find that these stocks many times have spreads of five cents, 10 cents, even 25 cents. As a result, you can have a whole different experience when you're placing a limit order on those particular stocks.
Consider a very liquid security, where the bid price shows 100 shares bidding-for, which means you can sell 100 shares at the current bid price. At 25 cents higher there's an offer price for 100 shares. You as a buyer really like this stock, so you decide to put in a limit order, maybe even splitting the bid offer: for example if it's bid for $20.00 per share and offered at $20.25 per share, you decide you want to buy this stock at $20.12 per share. If you want to buy 5,000 shares, you've basically just increased the overall size of the marketplace, and that signals there's almost more liquidity available. Your order itself could send the stock higher, because somebody sees a very big buyer in the market. So it's really important to understand the size of those bid and offer prices in relation to the size of the limit order that you're placing with the overall liquidity of the stock.
Limit Order
A limit order indicates the highest price you are willing to pay for a security, or the lowest price you are willing to accept to sell a security. Your order will be executed at your designated price or better. This helps protect your order from sudden volatility, but it also means you will only buy or sell the security if it reaches the price you're seeking.
When and why you might consider using a limit order:
- When price is most important: Limit orders are often used by individuals who have a clearly defined price at which they are willing to buy or sell a security. They realize an order may not be executed if their limit price is not met and that partial fills are possible if there are not enough shares available at their limit price.
- Target entry/exit price: Limit orders can be used to set a target purchase or sale price. A sell limit set above the current price will only be executed if the price increases to the limit price. Likewise, a buy limit set below the current price will only be executed if the price decreases to the limit price. Therefore, you can wait for the market to move in your favor before entering or exiting a position.

CR: I assume that for order size information, investors just need to look at the website when they place a quote. I'm guessing that not only TD Ameritrade but most brokers will list the bid size, correct?
CN: That's correct. There are a couple different quotes in the marketplace. Typically, when you see a quotation at a site like Yahoo! Finance or Google, that's what's called last-sale information—it shows you only the last trade that occurred (delayed by up to 20 minutes during market hours). In very liquid stocks, you could have as many as 5,000 or 10,000 trades in a single second in today's market, believe it or not.
The next step in quotes is what's called the level I quotation, and the level I quotation shows the real-time bid price and offer price and shows the size. Typically you now find a level I quote when you log in to your account at your electronic broker's and pull up a stock quotation. A level II quote gives you a little bit bigger of a picture into the marketplace, showing not only the best price available (level I), but also the second, third, fourth, and so on, best prices available at the different exchanges on the marketplace. It gives you a better idea of how much liquidity is out there.
Now, keep in mind, I mentioned that 5,000-share orders can have an impact on moving prices of a stock. Conversely, not everyone and not all intentions to buy and sell (or liquidity, as we refer to it) are displayed in the marketplace. So sometimes, somebody wants to buy stock, but they're only showing that they want to buy 100 shares, when in reality they might have a lot more stock to buy behind that. So while level II can give you a good indication, it's not absolute with regard to the available stock at that particular price.
Stop Order
Stop orders can help you to limit your potential loss in an investment or to lock in profits. By setting an activation price below the market, if you are selling, you may be able to limit a potential loss should the stock price fall.
A stop order becomes a market order once the activation (or stop) price you specified has been reached or surpassed. Stop market orders for purchases require you to enter an activation price above the current ask (offer) price. Sellers must enter an activation price below the current bid price.
A stop-limit order allows you enter two prices—an activation (or stop) price as well as a limit price. The activation and limit prices can be the same or you can choose a different limit price. A stop-limit order becomes a limit order once the activation price has been reached or surpassed. When placing a stop-limit order, buyers must enter an activation price above the ask price and sellers must enter an activation price below the current bid price.
When and why you might consider using a stop order:
- Protect gains or limit losses on a long position: A sell stop order is often used to help minimize your risk if a long position moves against you. You can set your activation price below the current bid and if the stock falls to or through your activation price, a market or limit order will be activated.
- To place a buy order above the current price: Buy stop orders are placed above the current price. A buy stop can be used as an entry strategy for a long position.
- To place a sell order below the current price: Sell stop orders are placed below the current price. A sell stop below the current price can be used as an exit strategy for a long position.
Source: TD Ameritrade.
CR: Going back to the stock with the 25-cent spread: If somebody were looking at a stock with a wide spread, and they wanted to buy the stock, should they place an order at the upper end of the spread? Conversely, if they're selling, should they be willing to accept the lowest price, or is there a strategy where they can maybe try to save some costs and place their order somewhere in the middle of the spread? And if so, are they risking not having the order filled at all?
CN: Every one of those strategies applies. The most important kind of warning sign that's out there is when you see a stock with a wide spread. You want to draw caution to such a stock. You say, "Okay, this stock has a wider spread. I know in today's markets, stocks can trade with a penny spread, and this particular stock has a 25-cent spread. Let me back up a bit and analyze what's going on here and see exactly what kind of liquidity is out there." And then understand that you might have to have some patience to get your order filled. It might not happen as quickly as you would like.
Conversely, entering a market order, you might not get the expected results either, because the available liquidity might not be wholly available. So back to your question: All of those things apply. It is very important that the narrower or the wider the spread, typically, the less overall liquidity or shares available at either price. So it's important to do your homework, have patience and be careful about the order that you enter.
In terms of stop orders and stop limit orders, what can an investor do? Obviously, the flash crash [of May 6, 2010] was an exception, but in normal conditions, what can you do to protect yourself from a) losing a lot of money on a stock unexpectedly, or b) a stock making a quick move one way or another, perhaps because of news, and then reversing course later in the day? What can you do to guard yourself when you're not at the computer?
I would say stop orders on the very surface sound like a really great thing. If my stock goes down while I'm on vacation, I'm going to stop myself out, or in other words limit my downside losses on a particular security by utilizing this order type. It is a very popular order type among individual investors because no one is standing in front of their quote terminal all the time.
However, it's very important to understand what this means. There are a few different types of stop orders that you can enter. We'll just talk about downside stop orders (there are actually upside stop orders that you can enter, too). In the case of a downside stop order, you could say, "I bought my stock XYZ at $20.00 per share," and once you completed that sale, if XYZ drops to $18.00 per share, then you could decide, "I don't want to own it any more, because in my mind the fundamentals of that stock changed and I want to get out of it." So you enter an order to stop yourself out at $18.00.
What most people don't understand is that stock prices can move very quickly in a very short amount of time. And stock prices can open at the start of trading on one day at very different prices than where they closed at the end of trading the previous day.
Let's say you enter a plain stop order that says, "If the stock trades at $18.00 per share, I want to make this a market order and get out at the best prevailing price." During the order life cycle process, there is actually an activation phase and an order execution phase. The activation phase takes place when the order trades at $18.00 or less. If the stock then opens at $16.00, your stop order is activated, because it is lower than your $18.00 stop price. And the stock sells at the best available market price. In a quickly moving situation, the best price available might be $15.00. You see this happen in circumstances like the flash crash and in circumstances where trading in a stock is halted because of an impending news situation that will have material changes in the company, and the stock opens at a very different price. It is very discouraging for the investor when that happens, but those were the exact instructions provided on the stop order.
One way to prevent that is to put in a stop-limit order. Going back to stock XYZ: "I want to stop myself out at $18.00, but I want to also place a limit so that I will sell at no price lower than $17.00." The rationale there is: "Well, if it goes to $17.00, I'm going to hold the stock for a while or I might even buy more." What the order says is that if the stock opens at $16.00, your stop order will be activated, but it now becomes a limit order to sell at $17.00. Your order will not trigger a sale of the stock below that limit price. So again, it's another way to protect yourself on the downside, without maybe getting the price difference that you saw.
It's very important to understand that stocks can open above or below their close, and they can trade at different prices very quickly, and that can have an impact on how your stock order executes.
Trailing Stop Order
A trailing stop order is an order that is entered with a stop parameter that creates a moving or "trailing" activation price. As a stock's price moves, the activation price for your order will move too, allowing potentially profitable trades to run. A trailing stop may also help protect against a sharp pullback.
With this type of order, you do not enter a specific activation price but, rather, you create a moving activation price by setting a stop parameter. The stop parameter can be entered as a point value or percentage below the current bid.
When and why you might consider using a trailing stop order:
To help maximize and protect profit in rising markets and limit losses in falling markets: If the bid moves up, the activation price increases to "trail" the new value. If the bid drops, the activation price does not change. When the bid drops to an amount equal to or less than the previously recalculated activation price, the order is activated and becomes a market order.

CR: I recall you saying that many orders are placed at the start of trading.
CN: A lot of people don't realize that today at TD Ameritrade 10% of our orders appear at the opening, which is fairly typical of retail firms. A lot of individual investors work all day, then they come home and enter their trades online at night, and they don't take into account that stocks can and do open at different prices than what they closed at.
CR: That's a good point to emphasize, because there is always news in the morning and sometimes it's good and sometimes it rattles the market. I imagine a lot of people place their orders after the market closes, particularly late in the evening.
CN: If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Just about everyone out there has a day job, and for most their day job isn't watching the market second by second. So you come home, you make dinner, you put the kids down, and then you have the first chance to look at your finances—which is a very important aspect (or should be an important aspect) of everyone's life; it can determine your financial future. This is when a lot of decisions are made, particularly for individual investors, as to buying or selling stocks. But, again, it's really important to understand that global economic changes in the marketplace have an impact on individual companies in the U.S. and where those stocks open and close the next day. So in cases like that, it's important to consider what price you want to buy a security at. Maybe consider a limit order rather than a market order, knowing that the stock could potentially open at a price a lot higher than you were willing to pay the night before.
CR: And is there any rule of thumb when someone is thinking of placing a limit order? Say they're looking at a stock and they think it looks attractive at $25.00 per share, which is where it closed at. Is there any rhyme or reason to where they should set the limit?
CN: Well, I think you just answered your question: Say you find a stock attractive at a certain price. You need to figure out at what price you are still attracted to purchasing that security. And then consider what sell price you will have on the security. And use that as a guideline to determine exactly where you want to buy the stock at.
CR: So you're saying that investors need to realize that when they place an order at night, the price it gets filled at might be very different from what they were looking at the day before, and they should allow themselves a price band, so that as long as the stock is trading within that band, the order will get filled correctly.
CN: Correct. And have patience. Stocks go up and down; they don't go up every single day. Understand that in the marketplace prices do bounce around, even overnight. Again, more often than not, stocks tend to open at different prices than they closed at the day prior.
CR: Based on complaints that customers lodge, what misconceptions do you see that investors have when they place their orders? I know we just talked about the differences between the types of stock orders, but what filters through to you in terms of complaints about the way orders are fulfilled and what customers perceive as being a bad order fill?
CN: Typically, we see complaints come in from things like stop orders: Individual investors do not always understand that the order could be executed at a very different price than the stop price. And we also see complaints come in on limit orders. There's thinking in the marketplace that if you place an order, it doesn't matter at what limit price, you are actually in line and, eventually, if the stock trades at that price long enough, you will get an order execution. And that's actually not the case, given all the different market structures out there. So those tend to be two of the larger things that we see, and they kind of result from the market structure that we have today.
CR: How does it work if somebody has a limit order, say for $17.00, and the stock is trading at $17.25 and then drops to $17.00, but someone else comes in with a market order as the stock is dropping? Which takes precedence?
CN: Market orders always take precedence over limit orders because a market order says, "I want to buy at the best available market price." So a market order will jump in front of a limit order. If you're a client wanting to trade at, say, $17.25, and the stock right away looks like it's going to come up on your price and your limit order is going to get filled, then all of a sudden a market order comes in, that market order is going to take precedence and actually be filled before your limit order, because it's the next best available price in line.
CR: So that's a scenario where someone can place a limit order, see a quote at their limit price, but not get the order filled.
CN: Exactly. Even though you see a trade at that limit price, remember, there are so many different places where that stock can trade, that you do see that happen as well, too.
CR: And can market makers and specialists only step in line if they have a market order?
CN: No, actually, specialists and market makers can and do place limit orders in the books. And in today's markets, there's no priority. In days gone by, this has gone back and forth, where specialists would sometimes have priority over individual investors, and individual investors would have priority over specialists, in terms of their placement in the line. Today, for all intents and purposes, it's equal. Orders are filled on what's called a time price priority model, which has become widely accepted in the marketplace. This means every order is stamped with a time, and then the price, and then the order takes its place in line, regardless of where that order came from.
CR: If someone's trying to decide between a limit order and a market order, it really comes down to whether they want to buy the stock at a certain price or to execute the order as quickly as is reasonably possible, correct?
CN: Yes, that's absolutely correct. It goes right back to: What's the purpose of buying the stock? Are you looking to become a shareholder for the long term, or are you looking to purchase a stock—maybe the earnings are going to be announced next week—that you want to sell in a week? Those considerations can have an impact, and they should have an impact, on how you want to purchase or sell that security. And you should consider that. Both order types are very important to use.
Also, new order types have evolved from firms like ours. There are now orders that are similar to stop orders, but a little different, which we call trade triggers. The trade triggers are events. So you could say, "If the Dow Jones industrial average drops 200 points, then I want to create a trigger to sell my XYZ stock at a certain price." You can create triggers today off of all different kinds of macro events in the marketplace, or even micro events in the marketplace. This gives a lot of added flexibility to the user to be able to buy and sell stocks.
CR: Isn't the danger for setting a trade trigger that, if the market reverses, you might have an order filled that you weren't expecting? Wouldn't that result in you actually having the transaction cost of trying to buy the security back if you want to own it again?
CN: Yeah, that's a very good point. It's another reason why today we're connected globally through all kinds of wireless devices and everything. You can sign up to receive messaging on your portfolio, and messaging on prices, and messaging on your order flows. I strongly encourage investors to do that, because that's a good way to stay on top of orders without necessarily taking a lot of time. For example, you've got that notification coming in to your mobile phone that your trade trigger executed, or your stop order executed, or your limit order executed. So at least you have knowledge that the event is taking place.
CR: Is there anything else that you think is important to bring up?
CN: The most important thing—and I stress this again—is just to understand. Do your homework and understand where you want to buy or sell. It's really important not to let pure emotion get involved in your decision, because emotion—at the root, fear and greed—many times is what makes the market go up and down more than it should. So it's important to take emotion out of the process and just stay focused on the fundamentals.

No discussion was raised about the vulnerability of a stop order to the marketplace. For example, a stock I own, XYZ, is trading at $20 a share and I place a stop loss order for 100 shares of XYZ at $16 to lock in profits or limit loss. At the same time, another person places a buy limit order for 100 shares of XYZ also for $16. Will my $16 stop loss order be executed during the nano-second no other buy/sell orders are open and because it matches the limit buy order of the other person?

That would imply an 8 dollar spread during trading hours ($4 above and below market.) That's really illiquid. Plus someone else would actually have to sell at $16 before your stop loss would be activated by the print.

Charles from CT posted over 5 years ago:
Absolutely no disrespect intended for a well-intentioned & quite informative article by these two professionals.
I also do not want to 'feed' some 'conspiratorial' feeling that retail investors get short shrift, etc.
The whole securities industry is literally built around the premise that the average 'retail' customer is treated with 'kid gloves' and not to be hosed ... for all the proper ethical reasons but also self-interest ... no one wants the heavy, generally misplaced, hand of 'regulators' to enter the picture and make everyone's life more complicated ... and ultimately do a 'spit' worth of little to improve the practical treatment of the retail customer.
The above all said, and it is all largely true, in today's world with trade execution margins so razor thin, the plain economic realities are that that 'last' order to get any attention will be your average retail account. One can cry & scream all they want but this is the economic reality.
Second, in my humble estimation, the concept of 'stop-loss' orders, in the present environment, borders on delusion & naivete. Yes, if the market is stable, you might get to achieve your goal ... .but do not overreach in your rational expectations.
These orders come up so fast and are aggregated en masse that the 'fill' is a quite logical & rational exercise .. that just may not fit the average retail investor's expectations. You have internal clearing before you go outside and then there are the 'dark pools, etc. The world is not what is was 10, 20, or 30 years ago.
I've found that most firms are really quite good, professional & helpful with order fill ... but you cannot delude yourself that you are the 'prioirty' customer and will get a tough 'execute' for literally pennies ( on a daily devaluing US$ no less) on the dollar.
Point: be realistic and almost cynical ... in a stable market you may get what you want on a stop/loss order. After that .... well, in a turbulent market you will get a turbulent result as a retail account. That is reality.

Ok thanks everyone,
but i'm not getting my order quantities filled entirely on CEF's or thinly traded issues.
When I have used an "all or none" stipulation, sometimes I don't get filled, even at a better price. So how do you correctly apply the "all or none" and is it a useful tool ?

James from CA posted over 5 years ago:
Having thought that I had a handle (ha ha) on how this works I consistently used stop loss orders on investments until several occasions when my stop executed and then the price went back up above my purchase price, effectively handing me a loss for all my good intentions. The result was that I decided to cease active trading until I figured out was I was doing wrong. Now I just buy and hold stocks with good dividends and forget growth, which has cost the industry a few commission bucks and saved my temper.
Thomas from WI posted over 5 years ago:
I used to use a lot of stop/limit orders to mitigate my losses and sell limit orders to take predetermined gains until....May 6, 2010. The unintended results and whip-sawing that I experienced made me rethink all of this. I now recognize that stop loss orders are nothing more than an offer to sell my valuable securities to someone else at a large discount!
Joel from PA posted over 5 years ago:
To Thomas from Wisconsin:
If you no longer use stop loss orders, how do you protect yourself from a sudden drop in price? I have tried using trailing stops but have also been burned when a fluke trade drops the price below the stop and executes a market order at an unreasonable loss just before the price returns to the average trading range. I liked your comment about stop loss orders advertising your willingness to sell your valuable assets for a large discount.

Maurice from MO posted over 5 years ago:
I dont use stop limits anymore either, because other people will see my order and try to manipulate the bid/sell orders so that my order gets triggered and then market immediately go back up. I think that no one should be able to see the orders other than people facilitating the orders. That way no manipulation can occur...everyone would be at the same advantage.

Fidelity offers a private order book into which you can enter conditional trades, including a multiple contingent trade, where you can specify volume, which protects you from getting pushed out of a position on small volume.
Ted from CA posted over 5 years ago:
To put the market that retail investors are exposed to in perspective, a couple of questions:
1. About what percentage of daily volume is due to the retail trader?
2. What advantage(s) do institutional traders enjoy that retail traders have no access to? In other words, how unlevel is the playing field in buying and selling stocks on exchanges?
Mark from IL posted over 5 years ago:
This article, while informative, again stresses the importance of "caveat emptor"-Let the buyer(or seller) beware.
There is no even playing field when it comes to knowledge about stocks or the stock market and no amount of regulation could make it so! Every person has different amounts of knowledge about different things and to think an amateur can know as much as a horde of seasoned (and sometimes ruthless) professionals is naive to the extreme.
Would you play football against Ray Lewis or Tom Brady even if there was an even playing field? Do you think you'd win? If not, then why are you actively trading stocks?
Do the smart thing and decide to buy individual stocks you don't plan on selling for a long time (decades) or decide to buy funds (ETF's or index are the best value) and hold them.
Brokerages encourage trading-that's how they make their money. They don't care whether any of the traders make money-most probably don't!
Mark from So IL posted over 5 years ago:
Trading stocks is not anywhere similar to playing on the a sports team. Remember,your side probably also has many profession traders on it too. The timing aspects can let you change quit the game at almost anytime and even switch sides or play both sides at the same time. How many sport teams do you know allow that? Maybe it happens in Chicago with mob betting in the background.
Glen from MA posted over 4 years ago:
I have recently started trading on the TD Amitrade Think or Swim platform. TOS allows having both a paper trading account as well as a live account. Entering the same trades on both platforms has given me an appreciation for the factors affecting execution. Nearly ideitical trades entered in succession can end up with one being executed and the other not.
I have been entering orders that include what TOS calls an OCO close braket. That is an opening limit order plus two close orders. One a stop loss and the other a sell at traget, sell for profit, price. OCO means that neiter order is entered but the first to hit its limit price will execute and the other will be cancelled. (OCO, One Cancles Other).
I find that sell orders with identical instructions will sometimes be executed in one system and not the other.

I've been told that most retail orders are filled by specialists or market makers, adding the spread to their commission. Now I see why the spread becomes more important as it increases.

Canyon Power Plant
Docket Number:
07-AFC-09 (Application For Certification)
07-AFC-9C (Compliance Proceeding)
Project Status: Licensed; In Compliance Phase; Operational September 15, 2011
The California Energy Commission approved this project's Application for Certification on March 17, 2010. The Commission monitors the power plant's construction, operation and eventual decommissioning through a compliance proceeding.
Committee that oversaw Original Licensing Proceeding:
Jeffrey D. Byron, Commissioner, Presiding Member
Hearing Officer: Paul Kramer
Key Dates
- 12/28/2007 - Application for Certification (AFC) filed with California Energy Commission
- 3/12/08 - Commission accepts Application for Certification (AFC) as complete and "Data Adequate."
- 5/7/2009 - Commission staff releases Preliminary Staff Analysis.
- 10/8/2009 - Commission staff releases Final Staff Analysis.
- 2/10/2010 - Committee releases Presiding Member's Proposed Decision.
- 3/17/2010 - Commission approves Application For Certification.
- 9/15/2011 - Power plant on line and producing power.
The Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) is proposing to build a peaking power plant project located within the City of Anaheim, California.
The Canyon Power Plant (CPP) will consist of a nominal 200 megawatt (MW) simple-cycle plant, using four natural gas-fired combustion turbines and associated infrastructure. The project site is located at 3071 East Miraloma Avenue, in the City of Anaheim, in a designated industrial zone.
The applicant intends to operate the facility 16 hours per day, 5 days per week. The plant will be operated to provide its maximum available electrical output during the periods when the demand for electricity is greatest. As an intermediate load and peaking facility, the plant is estimated to operate no more than 4,006 hours per year.
Energy Commission Facility Certification Process
The California Energy Commission is the lead agency (for licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts and larger) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has a certified regulatory program under CEQA. Under its certified program, the Energy Commission is exempt from having to prepare an environmental impact report. Its certified program, however, does require environmental analysis of the project, including an analysis of alternatives and mitigation measures to minimize any significant adverse effect the project may have on the environment.
