TradingScreen Launches 2007 TradingScreen (TS) Buy-Side Conference Series with Groundbreaking Research on Crossing Networks and Dark Pools

TradingScreen announced today that its 2007 TradingScreen (TS) Buy-Side Traders' Conferences will include a complimentary research report on crossing networks and dark pools - venues that match buyers and sellers outside of the national market system and the typical exchange structures.

New York (PRWeb) February 6, 2007 -- TradingScreen announced today that its 2007 TradingScreen (TS) Buy-Side Traders' Conferences will include a complimentary research report on crossing networks and dark pools - venues that match buyers and sellers outside of the national market system and the typical exchange structures. This independent TABB Group report, titled "Groping in the Dark: Navigating Crossing Networks and Other Dark Pools of Liquidity," co-authored by Jeromee Johnson, senior research analyst and Larry Tabb, CEO and co-founder, examines the different types of dark pools and crossing networks, and provides a look at their growth, opportunities, benefits and challenges.

In addition, attendees will have an exclusive opportunity to meet with Larry Tabb and several noted industry experts, adding tremendous value to the information contained in the report itself.

“The growth of crossing networks and dark pools is one of the most interesting and compelling opportunities now developing for buy-side traders,” said Philippe Buhannic, CEO for TradingScreen Inc. “We believe that the research we will provide on the topic at this year’s 2007 TradingScreen (TS) Buy-Side Traders’ Conference Series will prove to be extremely valuable to firms in the trading community seeking information about the challenges, risks, and growth opportunities of these venues.”

There are now more than 30 crossing networks and dark pools operating in the U.S. financial markets. These venues match buy and sell orders without publishing a price quote, and they present potentially significant price and informational benefits for large institutional investors. Challenges presented by crossing networks and dark pools range from simple technical questions on how crossing network trades hit the consolidated tape, to how to find the other side of a dark pool trade. There are also questions about how crossing networks and dark pools will affect the broader markets on issues such as price discovery, as well as how regulators view crossing networks and dark pools.

The report on crossing networks and dark pools, to be presented by Larry Tabb and discussed by a panel of industry experts at the 2007 TradingScreen Buy-Side Traders' Conferences, will bring clarity to the quickly expanding landscape of crossing networks and dark pools by examining various crossing network and dark pool models, how they work, and why they are proliferating. The 2007 TradingScreen Buy-Side Traders' Conference Series panel discussions will also touch on how crossing networks and dark pools are used - and will be used in the future - by buy- and sell-side players, as well as what it all means for the Global Market Structure. The report also explains where the liquidity is now for crossing networks and dark pools, discuss interconnectivity versus consolidation, and outline where and what crossing network and dark pool growth will be.

The 2007 TradingScreen (TS) Buy Side Traders' Conferences will be held in:

• London, Thursday, March 22nd, at Le Meridien Hotel, London
• New York, Wednesday, April 18th, at the St. Regis Hotel, New York
• Boston, Tuesday, May 15th, at Four Seasons Hotel, Boston
• Paris, Thursday, September 27th, at Le Grand Hotel Intercontinental, Paris
