Len,

Starting today, aren't MM's off-the-hook filling SOES orders...
they can trade 100 shares only - not the before required >= 1000?

How will this affect our trades thru ISLD?

Now if they could just execute Nasdaq market orders correctly! I had
a BC 500 at 55 stop market, market at 54-54 5/8, quick run-up for pick-off, back down to 54 1/8-5/8 - triggered but no execution. Two minutes later 200 BC @ 54 5/8, stock goes back to 55 - the rest of the BC covers. Datek pockets the 3/8 on 300 shares - but sweet guys that
they are - wave the $9.99(market order over 10secs) - live market
order for 3-4 minutes while 6 other orders go thru at 54 1/8 x 54 11/16.

They just can not handle STOP market orders properly... if your
order doesn't make it to their Island book... they throw you to the
wolves.<ggg>

IMO, nick
