Hey guys, does anyone have any idea where I can get a good source of direct access aggregate data over time (preferably free)??? E.g. how rapidly it grew over the last several years, % of trades, $ volume etc. Thanks, Vladiator.
Not sure if it's really free but the General Accounting Office in Washington DC has been auditing the industry and published a report in July 2000. I think that they may have a follow-up report coming out too. Also, that lady from Bear Sterns (can't recall her name) did a few reports on the business.
