Caro João,

tenho reparado que quando lista os títulos negociado no "after", não menciona o QQQQ, NASDAQ-100 Index Tracking Stock. Para quem negoceia futuros, é na minha opinião, uma cotação a ter em conta. Há alguma razão porque não o faz ?

A minha segunda questão é que os valores do seu post não coincidem com os valores do site oficial do NASDAQ :

Daí o meu segundo porquê !...

Um abraço

Estes movimentos no after-hours são de uma newsletter que recebo diariamente e que apenas menciona algumas acções das quais sairam notícias importantes.

Em relação a preços diferentes, provavelmente a fonte destes preços não é o Nasdaq, e os preços vêem de alguma das ECNs (electronic communication networks) existentes para negociar, que podem apresentar preços diferentes.

Vou tentar ver isso.
