I just received this message thru my on line brokerage account. I don't know if this is common knowledge, but for those not in the know, here it is... NYSE Rule 80-A With a market downturn, NYSE Rule 80-A, the "Stop-Ban" rule, may take effect. If it does, it will have the following impact: -- Retail brokerage customers may place new Stop and Stop Limit orders ONLY for 2,099 shares or less. -- Non-retail brokerage customers (non-individuals) such as Institutional Brokerage or Financial Advisor customers, may not place ANY new stop or stop limit orders. Rule 80-A will take effect if the S&P 500 (SPX) futures drop 12 points. This corresponds to a 70-90 point drop in the Dow Jones Industrials. Once in effect, the restriction will be in place for the rest of the trading day. Exception: if the drop occurs during the last 35 minutes of the trading day, Rule 80-A will NOT take effect. Best of luck to all. David
