Hi Tom- I hate beating this to death, but let me make sure that we understand the same thing. The advance/decline info you need to analyze Nasdaq has to be derived from the Nasdaq stocks. You can't substitute NYSE breadth as you might do when analyzing the Dow Industrials. If you need the 6 symbols for Nasdaq breadth, let me know and I'll see if I can dig them out. Of course, some of your frustration may be the suspicious way that Nasdaq reports trades. I think you mentioned before about the double counting of volume (trade volume = buy volume + sell volume). I'd think that wouldn't bother breadth since it's based on the proportion of the 2, unless there's some bizarre way that volume can be kept from the daily total. Amazing story about trading bonds on A/D info! I've never heard of that! Interesting guy... Bruce
