Sorry, aber wer sich bisher an den N-future gehalten hat, ist bisher mehr als einmal auf die Nase gefallen. Außerdem ist der Future eigentlich begrenzt in seinen Ausschlägen auf +-85 also mein weiß eigentlich garnicht wie er bewertet ist!
Nicht verrückt machen lassen!!!

Hallo !
Ich war bis jetzt eigentlich immer auf den Neuen MArkt fixiert und bin dabei seit langem gut gefahren.
Allerdings scheint es bei den momentanen Turbulenzen doch sehr hilfreich zu sein, die Eroeffnungstendenz and der Nasdaq abschaetzen zu koennen.
Wahrscheinlich kann ich die Info auch selbst heraussuchen aber vielleicht geht es so schneller :

Kann mir jemand einen Link zum aktuellen Nasdaq Future nennen ?

Danke im Voraus

In wake of failed settlement talks, software giant`s stock slumps on Instinet
April 01, 2000: 10:51 p.m. ET
LONDON (CNNfn) - Microsoft Corp. took a beating early Monday, slumping 10 percent as investors digested the software giant`s failure to reach a deal in its antitrust dispute with the U.S. Department of Justice.
    On the Instinet electronic trading system Monday Microsoft stock was quoted at 95, down 10.6 percent from Friday`s close of 106-1/4. The Instinet platform allows stocks to be traded outside of normal trading hours.
    Analysts had predicted investors would bail out of the stock following the abandonment of mediation talks over the weekend.
    "Obviously, there is no real mathematical equation for this, but I think that if you took 10 percent off of Friday`s close you would see where it`s trading in early-going on Monday," Arthur Hogan, chief market analyst at Jefferies & Co, said over the weekend.
    Rick Sherlund of Goldman Sachs told CNNfn he also expects Microsoft stock to fall sharply in U.S. trade Monday. And Sherlund expressed concern for the long term given the failure to reach a compromise and more trouble looming from private suits filed against the company in 28 states. "This takes on the elements of a tobacco situation," he said.
    Settlement talks between Microsoft Corp. and government officials ended without a deal over the weekend, setting the stage for a final ruling soon in one of the biggest antitrust cases in the history of the United States.
    The mediator in the settlement talks, federal appeals judge Richard Posner, issued a statement and sent an e-mail to all parties in the case late Saturday announcing the end of the talks.
    "I regret to announce the end of my efforts to mediate the Microsoft antitrust case," Posner said in the statement. He said, "the quest has proved fruitless," adding that the differences between the two sides were "too deep-seated to be bridged."
    The failure to settle means federal judge Thomas Penfield Jackson, hearing the case in Washington, D.C., will issue his ruling soon -- which could lead to harsh penalties against the software company, including a possible breakup. The judge last week put off a final ruling in the case as both sides made a last-ditch effort to settle.
    In a preliminary ruling in November, Judge Jackson found Microsoft had abused its monopoly in personal computer software, harming consumers and competitors.
    
Gates: Microsoft went "the extra mile"
    Justice Department antitrust chief Joel Klein thanked Posner for his efforts and said any remedy must address "competitive problems presented by Microsoft`s abuse of its monopoly position." Microsoft has maintained it did not break antitrust laws and vowed to fight the case on appeal if, as expected, Judge Jackson rules against it.
    Microsoft  (MSFT: Research, Estimates) Chairman Bill Gates expressed disappointment at the failure of the settlement talks. "It`s unfortunate that a settlement wasn`t possible," Gates said in a conference call. "Microsoft certainly went the extra mile."
    Gates said the Microsoft mediation team had offered "significant concessions" and reiterated that he believes the company has a strong legal case. He dismissed suggestions that the breakdown of talks represented a "corporate death penalty" for Microsoft.
    Sherlund said he does not expect Microsoft to resume settlement talks after Judge Jackson`s ruling, expected this week, but rather to appeal all the way to the Supreme Court, if necessary.
    The government had made an earlier deal with Microsoft in 1995 and, in the government`s view, Microsoft used a loophole in that agreement to meld its Windows operating system with its Internet Web browser.
    
Four months of talks but no deal
    Posner, a chief judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals in Chicago, had held talks for nearly four months to try to settle the case, in which the Justice Department and 19 states sued Microsoft, alleging it abused its dominance in personal computer software and tried to extend that power to the Internet.
    A lawyer close to the government`s case told CNNfn Saturday "it became clear this morning that Microsoft wouldn`t move off its last position" and that the government had "raised concerns about loopholes they created" in their latest settlement offer, made late last month.
    
    Jackson, in a preliminary ruling in November, said that Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft abused its monopoly power derived from its Windows software - used in more than 80 percent of all personal computers - and tried to extend that dominance to the Internet browser market, hurting consumers, competitors such as Netscape Communications, and other companies.
    One of the key points in the government`s case was that Microsoft competed unfairly against Netscape, whose Navigator Internet browser suffered versus Microsoft`s browser, known as Explorer. Ultimately, Netscape sold out to America Online (AOL: Research, Estimates), which later, in a separate deal, agreed to merger with Time Warner Inc. (TWX: Research, Estimates), the parent of CNN and CNNfn.
    In his final ruling - which could come this week -- Jackson is widely expected to find that Microsoft violated the nation`s antitrust laws. He would then decide what remedies should be applied -- something that could take weeks or even months, according to antitrust experts who have followed the case.
    "We`ll probably have more testimony ... with a result (on remedies) somewhere in mid-summer," William Kovacic, an antitrust expert at George Washington University who has closely followed the trial, said.
    Judges finding that companies have abused their dominant position have done everything from impose fines to order changes in company practices, to the more extreme step of splitting up a monopoly, as happened to Standard Oil in 1911 and AT&T Corp. in the 1980s.
    Shares in Microsoft rose 2-7/8 to 106-1/4 Friday as tech stocks rallied after recent weakness. Since Jackson`s Nov. 5 preliminary ruling, the stock has fluctuated between about 90 and 115, partly because of uncertainty over the final outcome of the trial.
