Hey Scrapps, your news article said: .....underscored its commitment to four key market segments -- small/medium enterprises, consumers, network service providers/carriers and large enterprises. Who did they leave out? Is this the same as saying "we will sell to anybody"? <g> o~~~ O

Market merger shouldn't shake up Silicon Valley Wide range of emotions on Wall Street Graphic: Facts about the two companies - Mercury News In Silicon Valley, where the Nasdaq stock market is as much a part of the high-tech landscape as chips and the Web, a Nasdaq-American Stock Exchange merger wouldn't be expected to shake up business as usual. With a higher concentration of technology companies, Nasdaq can be a more hospitable environment for high-tech firms, they say. And there are advantages like offering employees good deals on stock purchases, said Christopher B. Paisley, chief financial officer for 3Com Corp., a major computer networking firm. In Silicon Valley, of course, stock is an important form of employee compensation, and employees generally are often interested in buying their company's stock. In staying with Nasdaq's dealer system, 3Com and other firms can make special arrangements with broker-dealers for low- and no-cost trading, Paisley said. sjmercury.com Oh how the mighty has fallen. The AMEX consists of over 1000 stocks but only averages 24M shares/day. Dwarfed by one of those active INTC days. A far cry from when I started in the market. Mainly an oil-related shopping center. Still, there are stocks that move from the Naz to Amex to flee from being driven down by the looser Naz shorting rules. The merger is mox-nix to me. o~~~ O
