Bop... Interesting that you notice that. Remember that NASDAQ volume on avaerage is apx 12% LOWER due to volume reporting rules enacted earlier this year. LG and all, have you been able to allow for this in your charts of price and volume? Darn that Dream...

Putnam Investments Inc., AIM Group and 69 other U.S. money-management firms plan to start using a system called Liquidnet to buy and sell blocks of stock between themselves over the Internet, bypassing Wall Street brokers. Hey, this is BS! Why do they get to enjoy special trading conditions like this and the individual investor still has to cough it up to the middle crook? The middle crooks's services are longer required. I guess the hidden hands are terrified that the supply and demand system may actually work to properly control prices. Plus, the middle crooks wouldn't receive their free cuts any longer. In my opinion, Wall Street brokers are just like the bookies in Vega$ and every other nook and cranny betting hole out there. Another good example is the dockers.com sold their clothing directly on the Internet for about 6 months before middle-man JCPenney strong armed them into stopping the practice, because it was hurting their store sales. Now the dockers.com website just points you to a damn middle crook. What a crock. It's beyond time for all the middle crooks to go. John
