Dan: I assume the II article mentioned by AG was an article about ECNs - which would explain why ATG is not mentioned, as it is an ATS, not an ECN. Of course, such distinctions mean nothing to those (e.g., the returning prodigal son) whose only goal is to disparage without a comprehensive understanding of the facts. What's the use? Doc and AG have one goal in mind, which is to be proven that they (the disparaging ones) are right and we (the longs) are wrong -- well, also maybe to see the stock price plummet so they can rake in some short term (and short) profits -- what confuses me is the notion that transparently negative posts and self promoting illusions about how they've been right all along (remember, ASTN trades at 11 3/8 now, some 9 points higher than it did in March when the SEC approval was announced, which suggests that they have "always" not been right - though they did profit on the June swoon, to be sure) somehow have an effect on the stock price. What a laugh.
