Michael, there are two things present in today's Nasdaq market that are different than in 1987. These are ECN's and the Manning rules. Both of these allow trades to cross between willing buyer and seller. ECN's have no reason to stand aside as they take no market risk. The Manning rules are what allow the average retail investor to buy on the bid and sell on the offer. Of course there does have to be a willing trader on the other side before a trade is crossed, but I doubt we will see many buy at market orders going unmet in the event of a meltdown. Regards, Barb
