As I write this book, there are nine ECNs that are active on a Nasdaq

Level II screen. Each ECN is identified by its specific symbol, as are

the market makers. Fidelity, Schwab, Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette,

and Spear, Leeds & Kellogg plan to introduce yet another ECN in late

1999. This ECN could serve as the first after-hours trading platform with substantial liquidity that is accessible to the retail public.

Charles Schwab's customer survey indicates that 40 percent of customers

who currently give Schwab after-hour orders will trade

extended hours. This system will offer the client the ability to trade

NYSE stocks as well as stocks traded on the Nasdaq. As you can see,

the ECNs are going to bring about more change in the next five years

than has transpired in the past hundred years. Even the way the

industry does business will be forever altered. Let me briefly introduce

you to the current ECNs.
