re: News Alerts Service

Not much response concerning a viable news alert service. I see the following possible reasons to explain this:


1. People don't feel they need news to trade effectively.
2. People do feel they need it, but also feel that they
   are getting it.
3. There is a tool out there that people are using but
   not telling us about.
4. Canadians are apathetic. They simply don't believe
   that can do anything about the problem.


I opine that #4 is as valid as any of the others. This would not be the first thing on my list to fix if God were a trader and told me I could choose any new tool or make any change to the Canadian trading business. It would not even make my top five desired changes, but I think we can do something about this one.

The problem is small enough that we could get it fixed. I'm a developer, and I would not expect to find a whole bunch of us who are trading and lurking through Canadian threads, but with one or two other programmer-types, we could prototype this tool in 8-10 person days, and have a beta version for selected use in 18-20 person days.

The alternative is to organize an effort to lobby for a change and followup on said lobby. How many of us subscribe to CSW? I'm not suggesting that we become militant, so un-Canadian -gg-, but it would be difficult to ignore us as a group. Speaking for myself, I would rather see CSW develop non-ticker-dependent, realtime news alert service that put more resources into their current news product.

Just some thoughts I had as I reread the thread.

Cheers. --Allan
