    How much does a specialist make??

    How much does a specialist make??

    I respectfully disagree...for the most part, NYSE is built on the open auction system and creates a market by bringing buyers and sellers together...( in a perfect world) NASDAQ has nothing to do with bringing buyers and sellers together...it's positioning and hide and seek between major and...

    How much does a specialist make??

    over inflated and irrational buying and selling ? Look at what happened to NASDQ in the late 90's and today and you can't tell me it isn't better for the individual investor to trade NYSE....It sucks for the day trader, granted, but for longer term investors it's been pretty successful....On...

    How much does a specialist make??

    you are correct....as this one former specialist once told me.."it was like printing f#ing money every day!!" but with the decimals it's a much tighter spread, BUT they are not starving...remember this: In 1970's and 1980's volume on the entire exchange for a particular stock is probably...
