Yes and No. Nearly every electronic exchange now offers co-location services (including NASDAQ). The "serious dough" part is a little harder to quantify. I've not looked into NASDAQ specifically but server colocation is usually on the order of a couple of thousand dollars a month. This is a drop in the bucket compared to the real costs of a professional trading outfit (namely employees and margin/risk costs). Anecdotally, it's also almost exactly what I paid for a tier 1 co-located server at my first job in a startup during the first dotcom boom. |
