Hi DON, IBD February 6 Issue.In "THE BIG PICTURE"- "riskless principal trades" quietly went into effect thursday. In these trades market makers match a separate buyer and seller without risking their own capital. Under the old rules such a trade was counted twice - now such a trade is counted once. " This will cut the total volume by 8-10 %, acvcording to a Nazdaq spokesman". Last time I sold some stock in the NAZ I felt like those kinds of trades were 100 % of total volume.hehehehe Bob
