Price Movements: I am trying to understand the mechanics of price movements. This is what I have observed. a: Price fluctuations are not decided by small value trades or small Investors. b: In the case of big volume trades, the Parties negotiate outside the xchange and inform the M&M that they would like to BUY and SELL at a given price. If the last trade is higher or lower, the M&M walks the price up or down by making a few trades towards the agreed price. Once the agreed price is reached, the big volume trades are made and the market continues at that level. The small Investor should buy and sell just behind a large trade to get the best price of the hour. Any further observations are welcome.

Charlie, you point of view is very simplistic b/c you are comparing apples and oranges. JNPR so call state of art router, do not support many features ATM switches NN or LU support. Do not have QoS, and is not used in core networks of ATT,SBC,BT etc. All these networks would be in deep trouble with JNPR gears. Again why SBC networks,SBC new 6 billions Pronto project or BT network do not even consider JNPR router in the core. JNPR routers are great form IP networks where Qos and mulitiservices are not the key issue. To develop great ATM switch/router is very complicated process. ASND has 25 gig and it will take another year to make higher newer switch. I had opportunity to look at 50-450 gig data. I tell you forget about JNPR gears, specially when 450 gig will be availably at summer, but even 50 gig outperforms JNPR. You may say, NN 50 gig have to past the test . Of course, but did you ever hear about NN products which were sent to carrier and did not pass. NN is often criticize for paying to much attention to quality!!! BTW, every startup/small company will have greater speed in R&D then bigger, and NN admitted that was focusing on to many things. No doubts about that. Zbyslaw
