[RRichards]

Hi!

If someone can help me on this one then WOW thanks a mill!!!

2000 2002 2004 and 2006 does anyone know how much the trading volumes (eg now its 1.5 trillion pd) have grown since and over these years? Any aditional info would also be great!

Now to take this 1 step further... im sure no one will know these figures but hey lets see...

Over the same time periods does anyone know what the NYSE as well as microsofts value has grown?

Thanks 4 everything, warmest regards!

I pulled this off the website of Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It was released a few months ago and it's for the year 2005.

That is honestly so great of you, you have no idea how much you are helping me. the only thing is that its not opening on this computer... you are obviously familliar with what you sent me, if you are would you mind just giving me the figures if you have them?
