Rascal: Maybe this is because AOL is a NYSE listing and trades all go through the specialist, as opposed to the NASDAQ where all the trades go through the various market makers. If you check out NYSE stocks like AOL, HWP, IBM etc vs NASDAQ listings like DELL, MSFT, INTC, ORCL, CSCO etc., you'll notice that the I-Watch pie chart gray (unknown) area is always much larger for the NYSE stocks than the NASDAQ stocks. In fact, on heavy volume days, there's sometimes no gray at all for the large cap NASDAQ stocks. So it may just be that a greater % of NASDAQ trades are linked into the Autex reporting system than for NYSE trades. David T.
