Any important differences in the various stock markets?
Remember when you were young and you went to buy a car and your parents wanted the usual Buick or Chevy built like a tank and you and your brother wanted some slick new import. The same is true with the markets. The NYSE contains all the conservative companies and the NASDAQ has all the high flyers. Trades are made through a man called a specialist in the NYSE and the NASDAQ has many market makers which cover a stock. Which market you chose to trade in depends upon your risk tolerance and investing personality. Greater risks mean greater returns. The NASDAQ has been the Rat Crew s preferred choice and with the advent of the Level II screen, one can make instant executions.
