Bob, I see that I wasn't clear. :-) The $50 that I was talking about is related to the fee that Nasdaq charges. I pay this to Quote.com and they simply pass the fee on to Nasdaq. Regarding, "...when Island provides the same thing for FREE!", I wasn't clear. I was referring to the type of information, not the details - Nasdaq and Island post the quantity and price that traders are willing to buy or sell a particular stock. Island is free and Nasdaq charges $50 bucks for the same type of information. The Nasdaq fee is unreasonably high. Regarding Market Makers providing added value to the market, try preferencing a Market Maker on a fast moving stock. The chance of executing the trade is minimal. I use Island and ARCA for most of my trades. When CyberCorp gets INCA up and running on CyberX, I'll go through them also. I have little use for Market Makers. Among other things, I use and value Level II for finding out what the little MoMo monkeys are up to. Regards, Dan.
