From the Yahoo boards: Late Trades by: gdkenney (43/M/Washington, D.C.) 1/12/00 5:05 pm Msg: 42569 of 42576 For anyone like me who is troubled by such movements after-hours, here is some info given me by EMC Investor Relations. ________________________________________ The trades that come after the 4:00 PM NYSE close are trades that take place either on regional exchanges or the electronic crossing networks (ECNs). The prices are determined by whatever price at which the buyers and sellers are willing to make a trade. These trades can be at any price and any volume and the resulting price is reported as the latest sale. Currently, most of these trades are by retail investors taking advantage of the new after market trading that is being offered by many brokerages. The resulting lack of liquidity (or shares being traded) results in sometimes volatile activity in the stock. All stocks that have been designated for after market trading are subject to these same conditions. There are currently minimal safeguards and regulatory oversight regarding these trades; also, there is no one trying to create a fair and orderly market like the one that exists on the NYSE. These trades are not the responsibility of either the NYSE specialist or EMC. Neither the NYSE specialist nor EMC can do anything about this situation. If shareholders have a concern, they should contact the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) at sec.gov or the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) at nasd.com; these are the two agencies trying to develop regulations for the aftermarket trading. Both have on-line complaint sections. NYSE close prices are reported by most major publications like the WSJ, NY Times, LA Times and Investors Business Daily. In addition, most mutual funds use the NYSE close for their official pricing. Investors can look up the official NYSE close at NYSE.com. Information on extended hours trading can be found at: nyse.com in the NYSE newslink section under "Extended Trading Hours". sec.gov nasd.com in the Extended Trading Hours section --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
