I am part of the Zecco team and just wanted to take a second to address your comments. Your projection that it will take Zecco 275 years to grow as large as BofA is if linear projection. But business growth usually follows an S-curve of varying gradients -- so we might get there a lot sooner. Your assumption on cost is wrong. While BofA are selfclearing you need to consider the complete picture ... cost of running on legacy systems, cost of employees, cost of sales etc. You can rest assured that our amalgamated cost pr. ticket is lots lower than BofA. In regards to whether Zecco is being taken serious in the online race. Two facts: Try searching Zecco on google news. Plus at the moment we are opening more accounts pr. day than any other broker in the US. Remember, the numbers you quote are after our doors have been open for business less than 72 hours.
