If there were less pressure on rates, then it doesn't explain why they are lowering rates (Eliminating ECN fees) right off the bat. It seems to me that in this market a lot of powerful firms are merging their back-office operations, probably a lot of it due to the cost savings involved -- ie...

Well let's see, more traders to talk to and bounce strategies off of, more capital, bigger firm, more offices, more software to use, lower commissions, what more could Joe Trader want? :) I know I am very excited about it myself being an ECHO trader. I just called and got the scoop from ECHO...

Last I heard an Instinet machine was running $600 a month. This was a year ago though, if they were smart they have lowered it along with their ECN fees.

What's the final outcome of the Schonfeld cutbacks, anyone have the exact facts?

Anyone have an update on this?

That link doesn't work, can you re-post it?

I think the question here is: Is he typical of a college student or typical of someone wanting to join Bright??? :D:D:D (All in fun Don!)

Heard somewhere that Worldco doesn't allow Nasdaq trading... Anyone know if this is true???

So you too don't have a comfortable chair? :D:D:D

Don, I went back and read all the posts from the beginning, and it appears to me that the thread was started to talk about VB and Protrader losing traders in that area. And I think it is very in line for the actual guys who left these places to come on and tell us why. Doesn't seem like a...

uptick - Love it Neil, didn't read closely enough. In fairness then, I will do my best to poke some fun at the Italians too. :D Here's what I found on the web: YOU KNOW YOU'RE ITALIAN WHEN... - You're 5'4", can bench press 325 pounds, shave twice a day, but you still cry when your...

This one was so good it was worth posting twice!:D :D :D Hey Mike-claire, I'll bet the next time someone comes to invade your sorry a$$es you will be singing a different tune.

Thug- Thanks for the info, I have always thought that it was real. So many people claim to know people that have gone cow tipping. I have sucked some people into going Snipe hunting in my younger days if you are familiar with that trick.:)

However, I can't imagine that throwing a midget would cause any long-term damage :D

Back to the cow tipping subject for a moment, I heard that if you actually tip a cow over it messes up their intestines and they later die. Anyone know if this is true???

For those of us who stare at CNBC all day, thought this might be fun to see which commercials we all like and which ones bug the crap out of us all. My vote: BEST - They don't run it anymore, but I used to love the Archipelago one where the guy picks up the girl at her door for a blind...

My thoughts exactly. We'll have to start keeping stats on how many times the same questions and same threads pop up here every 6 months or so. I don't think Bright or Echo should take any of the comments here personal, everyone knows they both have built good firms and those who don't like...

That worked! Thanks! Great pics, all hot babes, I have found something I like about Hold Brothers, they know some good-looking people! Anyone know where I can meet the girls in these pictures? WOW! All the dudes in the pics don't look like they are in the same league with these girls IMHO...

Where is that link to the charity event, I didn't get to see that yet?

Echo (http://www.echotradeonline.com) has an office in Boston, and one in Cranston, RI. Don't know which is closer to where you are.
