OT: Very interesting read. I did not know there was a different trading method between the Exchanges. A cheap lesson that just became more valuable. Thanks TL! Jody

> Now that I have confused your further, what is that you don't understand about how you cannot place an order in between a Bid and Ask price OTC and hope to get an execution unless some other broker/MM comes in to fill the void. TLWatson, I think you missed the basic point. Jody placed her limit order to sell 1/16 below the posted bid, hence the confusion. She (?) was not trying to split the spread. Great explanation of the differences between participatory and auction markets, though. Jody, I forgot to ask: were you looking at real time or delayed quotes when you placed your order? Mike
