Actually, the specialists on NYSE "steal" less from investors than the MMs of the NAZ. Exactly. And that's just the point. The specialists don't work for the securities dealers, and so those white-shoe Wall Street firms don't get to share in their profits. But they do, however, get to share in the larger profits of the traders who act as MMs on NASDAQ. So the very firms that are the major members of NYSE seem to have a high stake in seeing as many companies as possible stay with NASDAQ.
