Dear Subscriber,
Thanks to you, the subscriber, Island has become the largest and most liquid marketplace for trading Exchange Traded Funds such as QQQ. Given the efficiency and size of the Island market, our order book data has become a critical piece of information for any trader active in QQQ and its component securities. Unfortunately, due to recent regulatory actions taken by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Island will no longer be able to disseminate its order book information in QQQ, DIA, SPY, SMH and MKH beginning Monday, September 23, 2002.
