Comments  on :  BLOOMBERG APPLICATION TO OFFER A CONFIRMATION MATCHING SERVICE

I support the Bloomberg Application to offer a confirmation matching service for the following reasons:

• The Bloomberg Suite of applications are closely tied to trade execution and processing for most trades that are executed by Amherst Pierpont Securities LLC resulting in a more timely matching service theoretically
• Having more than one service available should result in a more competitive priced offering for these services and will force proviuders to drive more efficiencies
• Bloomberg has a longstanding reputation of providing critical applications in the securities industry so are likely to provide a highly dependable service
