I wonder under what premise the market regulators operate for determining who gets first dibs on a particular price when, for example, 8 entities are bidding at that price. I'm told that even if you have a bid in over several days, every day starts anew, and the fact that you had your bid in the day before has no apparent bearing on your placement for today. I noticed the banks were nicely place ahead of my bid when I was second in line yesterday. Market regulators? Right.... and who do they work for?
