People who deal in large sums tend to be conservative, as more money is lost if something gets bobbled. And, as Murphy's Law has it, changing procedures can lead to bobbles. If habit wasn't a factor, every investor would be signed up with Scottrade or some other deep-discount firm. And yet, the full-service firms are still thriving. Have you heard of Open Office? There's a perfect rationale for switching to OO from MS office: OO is free, while Office costs plenty. Despite that advantage, OO has hardly made a dent in MS Office's sales. Same with Linux vis-a-vis "Windoze," even though some "Winux" packages are as user-friendly as Windows now. The China exchange will likely take off due to Chinese seller and buyers moving in. It has the home-field patriotic advantage, which counts for a lot in China. For all I know, they decided to forbid naked selling as a brag point for home: the new exchange is better than the 'cowboy American' NYMEX.[/QUOTE]
