The traditional or regular trading hours have been for some time from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Trading outside these regular hours is not a new phenomenon. But it has generally been limited to high net-worth investors and institutional investors, such as mutual funds. The emergence of private trading systems, known as [URL="http://www.sec.gov/answers/ecn.htm"][COLOR=#0000ff]Electronic Communications Networks[/COLOR][/URL], or ECNs, has allowed individual investors to participate in after-hours trading. While after-hours trading promises greater opportunities and convenience for individual investors, it also involves significant risk.
