good2be, have you ever thought about a situation where 1 powerful member of an exchange decides that a company is not a company he wants on his exchange because other more influential companies put the pressure on him to act in their favor? You are assuming that the AMEX is so clean. To the contrary, as has been pointed out by Bob O'Brien's article the AMEX has a lot of problems, thus their new Mr. Clean coming on board trying to put a good face on their SEC investigated issues and fines All I'm saying is that a fair, outside investigation needs to take place. Unfortunately, it appears that the SEC is one sided. The AMEX only turns over to the SEC what it wants and no more. All IMO.
