I believe that investors would benefit from this kind of development, and maybe that is the reason marketmakers/other option exchanges are trying to resist this kind of development. Maybe it will even bring more business to exchanges as volumes increase? Matti Luomanen Välilänkatu 12 C 21 62100 LAPUA FINLAND
