Kathryn - Agreed currency traders should probably be the model, but I think it works for them because they are really trading only a few currencies in any volume pn a 24/7 basis. My guess is perhaps now that the Euro is a pseudo currency there might even be fewer currencies to trade. Consequently you end up with a few players with big money trading a few items and the markets are relatively liquid. If you make the extrapolation to stocks, IBM, and the other big American stocks should do well in 24/7 trading, but what about Tokyo Fire and Marine or something even more obscure? Futures traders are 24/7 aren't they? GLOBEX? ---- Dave
