Thanks!

I was thinking about the NYSE TICK today. How come Nasdaq doesn't have a "NASDAQ TICK"? Wouldn't a Nasdaq Tick be better for trading Nasdaq stocks? MGB

You know something, if NYSE ever moves to a 100% electronic network then the Squawk Box will be useless. Besides, this Squawk Box is useless to me since I'm deaf anyway. However, I do appreciate the advantage you have on hearing the "roar" during your trading day. MGB
