Scrumpy,

NASDAQ was sued and settled for about a billion dollars in January 1997. They promised to stop "conspiring" to keep spreads artificially wide. They now get SOES'ed to death...but the average "lay" trader can live happily ever after.

I have not noticed narrower spreads - was this the SEC bringing suit? Do you happen to recall where that billion dollars went? That's something like 3 bucks for every man, woman and child in the USA. The number of traders is smaller, of course...

Thanks.
