From: Dvir Langer [efficacy@netvision.net.il] Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 2:17 AM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Cc: Thomas Peterffy, Chairman Subject: Re: BOX - SR-BSE-2002-15 Dear SEC/Jonathan G. Katz, I think that the introduction of Boston Options Exchange (BOX) will be of great benefit to public investors/speculators because there will be price improvement over NBBO. Also, investors/speculators will be able to participate on both sides of the "BOX's" major distinguishing feature -- the Price Improvement Period (PIP); this will result in more customer-to- customer trades, with reduced spreads (in between the bid/ask offered by market makers. I believe that all of this will make the effective spread I pay, and my total transaction cost for my trading, diminish. This in turn will provide greater liquidity in the market place. Sincerely, Dvir Langer, Esq. dvir@email.com
