Quant, do you ever trade or do you just run speadsheets - maybe, you did trade at Long Term Capital - LOL -- Just Kidding !!! I realize the nasdaq and OTC desks are having a tough time - the point is -- I dont really care where things trade but everything is moving to an electronic platform...

This is AMEX last ditch effort to save itself - as the Nasdaq is becoming an exchange and wants nothing to do with the AMEX -- The AMEX is part of the Nasdaq - but the NAsdaq is getting rid of it -- Soon the Nasdaq will have its own ETF's, and soon they will have something called the Alternative...

The NYSE is all smoke and mirrors. The specialists can fill market orders however they want --- its unreal in the year 2002 -- this shit still is allowed to go on. Give me a break - ever try trading breaking news on a NYSE - good luck - the NASDAQ is such a more fair and open market --- as well...

You could try Worldco, I believe they have an office in Boca. They mostly trade NYSE. But, why not stay put and see what happens. Why so negative ? I think prop firms are more likely to stay in business if they get rid of the excess expenses and non-productive employees that they tok on during...
