Since I'm convinced you are not an institutional investor, how are you allowed to trade on the NAZ after the close

He could trade over Instinet if he has the funds ($20,000+, if memory serves me right)

However, most of the afterhours trades that most people like to cite (with the usual PCQuote URL and the rest) are usually late day trades rather than Instinet action. You need to call in for the latter.

Usually Instinet gives us a good idea how investors feel about the news. Actually, most of the time how a stock is trading up or down on Instinet after big news releases (mergers, earnings, et al) is generally a good indicator of how it will open tomorrow, unless the analysts decide to put in a negative spin.

seczebra, I don't know what you're talking about. I can trade pre and post market with MB Trading. Can't you with your broker? In fact, I sold some amazon pre market today at 115 1/2 and bought it back a few points lower. And, no, I'm not an institutional investor. I put my pants on one leg at a time, just like you. However, since I'm long Amazon and not going to get run over like you shorts, I guess I have nicer pants than you. <ggg>
