What's the Buzz on Eurex assaulting the pits?

The free-market capitalists in Chicago, Washington D.C. and congress should be ashamed of themselves.

The amount of hypocrisy in the land is amazing. Look at similar nonsense in the farm-subsidy arena.

Quite sad.
 
Another interesting little factoid. . . . . . Eurex is owned by Deutsche Boerse. . . . . . which, in turn, is a publicly held company in which a relatively large interest is held by US and UK institutions. Go figure. . . . .
 
Do you know how much particular in the US? Also is it in mutual funds, banks etc? I would like to know who controls most of the DB.
 
Quote from EricP:



I think Eurex will have greater market share than the CBOT in the Treasuries within six months after launch. There is no reason to believe that they won't. There are only three main factors that should effect market share results:

1) Technology. Eurex provides the current technology (a/c/e) used on the CBOT electronic contracts. Market players will find it easy to switch to Eurex from a technology standpoint. On the other hand, CBOT will be discontinuing their use of a/c/e later this year, causing headaches for existing CBOT clients that are a/c/e users (this is most of them).

The CBOT is going over to LIFFE Connect which is supposed to be able to update much more frequently than Eurex and is supposed to be able to handle spreads which a/c/e can't do that well.
