How about a section on the home page for rating NYSE specialists?

Like your brokerage, book and software ratings.

Every other electronically traded world market does fine without it. Why should the NYSE be any different.

In theory, the specialist system should buffer or minimize volitility. How is this benifical to Day Traders?

The Bright Bros. probably have pictures of SEC Donaldson in some Las Vegas area cat house. They will single handedly preserve the specialist system.

you really should clarify that. The way you wrote your post, 'it' refers to Baron's business and not the specialist system.
