no, but "The Birds" might be a good proxy.:D

No it would not be trading through. I think being pennied is here to stay, because they can call it 'price improvement.' The ability to cancel my order is enormous. Imagine needing special permission from the specialist to cancel and order. Well, that's what it amounts to. To be able to...
