Quote from bigbear:
if SDS keeps the day trading ops it would be a behemoth. would they want that is the question.
as far as meeting in NYC with SDS CEO what did he say about how the daytrading ops would be run. Is Andover in an expansion mode or firing unproductive traders as others are?
Daytrading ops stay the same with a focus on compliance (no funny business). Sungard wants to be known as the cleanest shop on the street. That is great in my opinion. To legitimize daytrading is a big plus for everyone in the business.
IMHO I believe that a few firms are worried out there with good reason.
