Alex,

Here is the market of the future. Mr. Citron is the founder of
Datek. I copied this from Datek's web site.

In 1996, Mr. Citron unveiled The Island E.C.N., which revolutionized the Nasdaq stock market by offering individual investors an unparalleled ability to execute and display their orders. The second largest of five electronic communication networks approved by the S.E.C. for the "display rule," Island matches approximately 30 million shares per day, accounting for approximately 5% of the Nasdaq stock market's daily volume.

Mr. Citron has also been heavily involved in the effort to allow E.C.N.s to become qualified as full-fledged stock markets. If the effort is successful, Island will be the first stock market dedicated entirely to the individual investor, providing lightning quick matches, reliability, and fair access for all investors.
