With respect to ECN encroachment, Merrill's analyst believes that it will ultimately be limited:

Despite strong growth in ECNs, NITE has continued to improve market share of Nasdaq volumes; also, we believe ECN volumes are concentrated in large cap stocks, which represent only 10% of NITE's order flow. . . .

We believe ECN growth has resulted from business that the firm [NITE] was not actively competing for. . . .

Future growth of ECNs will affect only a small portion of the firms business.


ECN-anguish may therefore, in Merrill's view, be "overblown" (using Merrill's words).
