OXPS, TRAD look like values to me. So many people on other threads trading options; a clue that OXPS might do okay. I had it last year. I'll have to consider if I want to re-enter. Holding now a losing position in IBKR. These three stocks written favorably here: seekingalpha.com

OXPS - OXPS - Looks good, but... I remember 2001-2002 downturn. Brokerages and related firms suffered a lot then. Brokerages then were wildly overvalued to begin with and the dot.com mania created a generation of day trades, which went out of business in Y2001. Todays valuation for OXPS, TRAD and others are by no means demanding and I do not think that we were in exuberant territory in 2007 nor do I think we will be seeing an extended bear market which indeed could cause a decline in trading volumes. Both are solidly financed and prime takeover targets once the market get's on more solid footing. So far they are small bet's for me and as i mentioned before TRAD is a very good trading stock <g>.
