In the last four years, about 70 companies decided to switch their listing from Nasdaq to the NYSE. You claim that companies have no choice, when in fact they do. Many choose the NYSE. Many others choose the NASDAQ or AMEX (mostly because they are not capitalized enough to list on the NYSE)...

The silent majority has been voting. Those results speak louder than words.

More of the same. Classic and pitiful obfuscation and distraction tactics used when on the losing side of an argument; the inability to answer questions which kick the legs from under a weak and faltering argument; attack those questions as being "unworthy" and "beneath being addressed"...

More of the same from Rockford. Classic and pitiful personal attacks, as demonstrated so artfully during the O.J. Simpson criminal trial, when backed into a corner on the losing side of an argument with no way out. Your were treated with and spoken to with respect, but responded with...

Again, I thank you for the direct and succinct response. The specialist system was devised as a facilitator of trading for stocks. The purpose was not to suppress competition. In some instances during certain times due to lack of viable alternatives, a monopoly is the only solution in...

First, I appreciate your concise and direct response. I am not certain what you mean by the reduced level of choice that you say companies have in choosing a listing exchange. Are you saying that the choice between NYSE, NASDAQ and AMEX is too limited? If so, why is this choice not...

This is a contender for the most ludicrous statement on the thread. Can you elaborate on why you think that one who would prefer that the NYSE to remain is promoting an anti-capitalist, socialistic agenda by feeling this way? I look forward to a meaningful reply with some substance for...

This is the most blatantly wrong statement that you have made here. You say companies list on NYSE because they have little choice? The fact is that the listing requirements are much more stringent for the NYSE than NASDAQ or AMEX, yet companies continue to list on the NYSE by CHOICE. Many...

It is you, not I, who raised the question of the validity of the poll. I responded to you on this issue not vica versa. It is you who are repeating the same. I believe I have laid out why your allegations on this are false, and I did so by attacking the argument, not the arguer, as you can only...

More of the same. Here it is in your words, not mine. That is your viewpoint. I asked you where is the bias and how is it affecting results making them invalid. You claim to not know the results but just claim that they are invalid. You you cannot support your claims and so go on the attack...

Where is the bias and how are you supposing it is affecting the results? Any poll on ET is subject to a few voting more than once, if they have nothing better to do with their time. I'd like to think that 99% of the participants here do. This would not skew the results much at all and most...

I am asking you once again and appealing to the moderator at this point - if you wish to comment on discussions which took place in another thread, do so in that thread where I will happily and handily debunk all of your false allegations above. This thread is in the trading category and i...

This goes to what I said in my opening comments on the thread.

Anyone referring to the thread you cite will see how in the end your credibility was seriously diminished, and that my statements were not wrong. If you want to discuss that thread please do so in that thread. You constantly refer to that thread here. That, and your statement above is clearly...

Here is a typical response made by this poster when he is backed into a corner. A classic offensive personal attack strategy when an argument or defense is weak or faltering, demonstrated in it's most artful form during the O.J. Simpson criminal trial. I may start calling you Johnny...

Completely False. You made a statement that the government almost never pursues white collar crime and that the pursuit of it is an "extraordinary exception", so you conclude from your own premise that since there was a NYSE investigation, gee it must be a serious issue! I gave examples...

I can think I can safely speak for those (the majority of PROFITABLE traders) who voted for the Specialist to "stay", that the reason they would rather keep him is not because they are dependant on a corrupt system. The fact that many are happy to trade stocks with one dealer has nothing to do...

This is completely false and a 100% misrepresentation of the facts. White collar crime, particularly at the corporate level, has been a major focus over recent years, the wave of which began to form after the Enron debacle. The proceeding wave of investigations resulted in CEO indictments...

You are wrong, I owe you nothing, but I have already explained why I have access to two aliases. If it bothers you that I have access to two aliases on ET, which I freely admit, go ahead and sue me, complain to ET or whatever else will make you feel better. As far as the validity of the...

See the post above. Thats right, a single post in the thread you reference, made in err. The fact that I have access to two aliases here does not mean I voted twice in the poll. Even if I did, that would hardly skew the results. Since this does seem to be a burning issue with you, just do as...
