Please excuse my ignorance and the slightly OT questionas I 
don't do stocks, but what is the uptick rule?
What's it used for?
 
Thanks,

Rick,
 
As the size of a 
trade increases slippage becomes more real.  For the most part, I think 
2.5 cents per trade will cover commissions (equity) and then factor in ten 
cents per share for execution.
 
Short positions are nastier, uptick ruleand all 
that jazz.
 
Take care,
 
Steve
