I think you're getting a bit ahead of yourself with your 40-60mil share predictions. ASTN themselves admitted to only 20mil by years end, and remember, we're at least a month behind schedual. It took nearly 10 YEARS for ITG's Posit system to get into the 20mil share range it is now. We may be having Billion share days on each major exchange, but I doubt ASTN will get much of that action for quite a while. And because of all this "secrecy" regarding their customers, we won't know what they are REALLY up to till after the launch, when the lack of start up volume handled will be making shareholders run out screaming to the exits. My patience with this company is wearing extremely thin, since ASTN can't mention it's customer list in the launch press release, somehow I doubt anyone on Wall Street will even notice the event...
