Ice, I disagree about crooks on the NAS, There are great companies that trade there: MSFT, INTC, CSCO, WCOM, NSCP, to name just a few. The reforms and multiple market makers actually make for a very efficient market in most cases. Yes there is greater room for manipulation among the hot, and smaller traded stocks, but look at the action on ZAP which is 3 letter and NYSE. I would look at the companies, not the exchanges. larrry

Ice, that is the dumbest statement I have read from anyone to date on SI. You consider yourself and investor and right off across the board the NASDAQ which has some of the hottest companies and the majority of the future of innovation in the US economy for the 21st century? That is just plain nuts. The volatility in tech stocks is not isolated to NASDAQ; it is the nature of the business cycle and trading of that group. Look at a NYSE example; VST; same as all the NASDAQ stocks; big drops when sentiment shifts even for a short period. Why you would not see that this all makes for extremely terrific trading opportunities since the selling is almost always overdone is beyond me.
