Hello and Happy New Year! A new voice is being added to the Bonds blog – mine! I did mention “news,” so on the news front, we have a few new developments.
Links for 9 August, 2007. Among them: results of the Traders Magazine survey about the NYSE Hybrid Market; NYSE Euronext trading volume grows across the markets; NYSE Bonds enlists market makers; NYSE lists 40 Chinese companies valued at $1 trillion total; and the world's most famous market may be at 11 Wall St., but it's not the world's biggest. Plus: happy birthday, John Dryden.
Links for 3 August, plus: What breathes the species.
"The exchange already is almost all electronic, but a lot of the electronic trading is the specialists and the brokers on the floor," Thain said at a conference at Baruch College in New York. "They will continue to add value, which means there will continue to be a floor."
For those of you interested in price improvement and market quality (and isn't that just about everyone?), I would recommend listening to a couple of excerpts of yesterday's conference call about NYSE Group quarterly earnings. Plus: other links for April 27, 2007.

M: You didn't!
A: I'm telling you I did!

A: Ah, thank you. Anyway, I did.
