Talk:Late trading

Coat rack dispute
This article makes it sound like after hours trading is absolutely illegal. That's not true, is it? For example:

''"After-hours trading refers to stock trading outside the traditional trading hours of the major exchanges, such as the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market. The traditional or regular trading hours have been for some time from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Trading outside these regular hours is not a new phenomenon. But it has generally been limited to high net-worth investors and institutional investors, such as mutual funds. The emergence of private trading systems, known as Electronic Communications Networks, or ECNs, has allowed individual investors to participate in after-hours trading."''

 * What you're referring to is called "after hours trading," and despite Wikipedia's incorrect redirect of "after hours trading" to this page, they are NOT the same thing. Late-trading is illegal, after-hours trading is not. You linked to the SEC's definition of "after hours," you might want to take a look at this page instead...— DMCer ™  02:59, 26 May 2008 (UTC)


 * So? Instead of wasting your typing on quibbling, do the research and be bold &mdash; like I did, just bother to click on the references provided.
 * &bull;Late trading is executed after hours, gee, just like after-hours trading
 * &bull;Both topics are too small as separate   and would eventually be merged anyway.
 * &bull;So, re-organize for clarity
 * &bull;Correctly   and    the stolen SEC quote
 * &bull;clean up the references, and re-title with publisher's title
