PS-- thank you Jan Crawley for clarifying the difference between true trading volume, as reflected in NYSE or Amex figures vs Nasdaq Market Maker "churn". Nasdaq uses trading volume figures as a selling point to get companies to list with them.

The real selling point for companies that actually have a choice on which market to trade on is the fact that the DAQ MMs will hype and bring visibility to the stock thereby increasing demand and share price. Just ask anyone that has made the decision. Inflated trading volume doesn't hold the price up when real selling pressure come in.

Companies that move over to the NYSE figure they are visible enough and can stand on their own two feet.
