VIRTUAL STOCK TRADES

Spring Street Brewing Co., a tiny New York microbrewery, has taken online investing to a new height. On Mar. 1, it began operating a bulletin board (http://www.interport. net/witbeer) that allows individuals to trade the company's stock that has been issued to employees or private investors. The results of the first few days of operation suggest that do-it-yourself trading is not yet a threat to NASDAQ. With buyers bidding 2 cents to $1.85 a share and sellers asking between $1.95 and $10, no deals had been done.
