Ben,
Have you done any work combining the adv-dec and advol-decvol of the ny
and nasdaq and possibly the Amex by adding each market and treating that
product as a single entity? I.E. treating all the advances in all
markets as a single entity, etc., as contrasted with just the NY for
example?
Results if so?
