Well one can only hope that SGI is selling and maybe beats estimates. But it seems that all is doom and gloom in technology.

Today, I decided to create a script to automate the recovery of intraday I-watch info. this is run on my linux trading station. watman.com

With a list of stocks in a simple text file.

file stock_list
LU
SGI
MIPSB
APLX
MIPS
EGGS
LOR
ELNK
GSTRF
WCOM
MTIC
ADI
IFMX
INTZ

I call a script
get_iwatch stock_list

for each stock it create a jpg file like.
watman.com

to see the symbology of iwatch
iw.thomsoninvest.net

my script...
#! /bin/tcsh
# get_iwatch.com usage: get_iwatch.com stock_list.file [number of cycles]
if ( $1 == "" ) then
echo get_iwatch.com usage: get_iwatch.com stock_list.file
echo stock_list.file MUST be specified
exit
endif
if ( $2 == "" ) then
echo get_iwatch.com No Count set. Loop forever.
@ COUNT = 999999
else
echo get_iwatch.com set for $2 iterations.
@ COUNT = $2
endif

set list = `cat $1`

if ( !( -e TMP_DIR ) ) then
echo making subdir TMP_DIR
mkdir TMP_DIR
endif

if ( !( -e STOCK ) ) then
echo making subdir STOCK
mkdir STOCK
endif

foreach stock ($list) #make directories to store i_watch data.
if ( !( -e STOCK/$stock ) ) then
echo makeing sugdir STOCK/$stock
echo STOCKS$stock
mkdir STOCK/$stock
endif
end
