Input please from all the smart people reading this (including you lurkers). What exactly does it mean....what are the implications of AOL always being the "most heavily traded stock"? Does this mean institutions and hedge funds are daytrading or are the Big Mutual Fund Families selling each other AOL stock to improve overall returns? Today is the last day of the month, are there any implications to this? Separate Question: This is about the big banks. Since they now make more money on fee revenue then the spreads on finanacial instruments is it possible that the rate hikes are to cut abusive pricing at the banks? Since Banks raise consumer rates right away but lower consumer rates very slowly, I am trying to understand what the new yield curve really tells us. Was the rate hike directed at the big banks? Also, does anyone have any information about how the big banks are doing in the IT area? Are they still maintaing their own big proprietary IT structures? Do they seem to get it yet about how the internet will impact their IT processing? Any ideas welcome!
