1977.....500 shares....$300... 1989............................$49... 1998............................$10... Now.............................60 cents...... With the NYSE "expensive" structure in question as to its survival...and the relatively "inexpensive" electronic structure making headway which centers on internet capabilities... What's next?....
If arca were a stock it would probably be trading at <$0.000001 by now. I mean, if you can't get rid of those problems after years and years of almost daily outages with bad prices and hung orders across the board etc BEING THAT IS ALL YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO (provide accurate quotes and match orders), why would anyone still put his hopes in such a POS?
