I think this section from the second article, is among the funnier I've heard in awhile:

``It is a very rapidly evolving market,'' said analyst Robert Napoli of ABN AMRO. ``I do not think ECNs are going to have anywhere near the impact that people think they are going to have. They do not provide the liquidity and they are not faster, cheaper or better.''

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. An appropriately credible comment. So:

1. ECNs do not provide liquidity.

2. ECNs are not faster than dealers.

3. ECNs are not cheaper than trading through brokers, whether via the phone or over the internet.

4. Trading via ECNs offers no improvement over throwing ones' orders through a broker or into dealers' hands.

LOL, Bobby. It's clear that you're an expert on the subject.
