    Extended Trading Hours

    This weekend saw the compulsory upgrade of all member-to-Access Point connections (both multi-channel and single channel) from 64k (or 4x64k) to 256k. This would potentially provide Deutsche-Boerse with the additional bandwidth to increase the broadcast rate. Cheers.

    Refco Pro - my mistake

    I'm surprised that with your "15 years" in the market and obviously extensive market knowledge you didn't pick up on this earlier. Perfect example of how to make yourself look like a complete mug though. Brightened up my morning no end.

    Rumor - is Mac/Refco in trouble?

    - Doesn't the London office seat around 350? even at half-empty thats a lot of traders. Don't mean they're all making money though of course....

    - Probably related, but i've heard that Refco Pro is far cheaper than TT anyway. Apparently Mac's commissions are now the cheapest available - anyone know this for sure? TWalker - did you get over to the "trading alliance" office today, or were you sidetracked by the heady mix of birds and...

    Morning. First post here - although i've been "lurking" for a while. Aren't Fortis opening a new floor on Bishopsgate? Seems a bit of a coincidence.... But hey, if it means cheaper rates, who's complaining?
