Talk:Scalping (trading)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article doesn't make any fucking sense. Some guy 01:22, 18 November 2006 (UTC) Agreed. It's utter nonsense.

I'm not prepared to dive into this mess right now, but at a minimum there needs to be information that scalping has a different meaning when used by courts and the SEC, which define scalping as the illegal practice of recommending that others purchase a security and secretly selling the same security contrary to the recommendation. A search on sec.gov will produce lots of additional information; I pulled that definition from http://www.sec.gov/news/press/2006-35.htm. John M Baker 15:46, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
