The country turned orange this week with our new king. Not much too add, but reading the Economist today on the Dutch Fleet in electronic trading. Briefly mentioned the history of the Dutch exchange and the three most prominent Dutch trading firms. Not the latest edition, but from April 20. Here’s the link.

For market shares in the electronic trading the Economist editors take a look at the Scandinavian markets. Idea is probably from my article in September 2011 or – more likely – from this one, published one week later (coincidence, sure).

Anyway, interesting general story and comments from Defares and Elzinga in the Economist. However, no new developments or news – just some entertainment.
