The excessive Section 31(a) fees, monies that end up in the general revenues rather than the intended purpose of funding the SEC, are simply a hidden tax on the American people who are working hard to build a secure financial future for themselves and their families.
The CHX is a regional exchange that trades securities that are listed and also traded on the primary markets (the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange, and NASDAQ).
The foreign exchanges are likely to find, as U.S. regional exchanges have found, that to be successful they will have to compete on quality and cost executions.
