For lack of anything better to talk about, it seems that SI has a new boss. Also, there will be some changes to SI pretty soon as Stocksite begins to integrate with SI. It would be nice to get some free real-time quotes at the bottom of the page. It's pretty sad that other sites offer free real-time and we're still paying for delayed.

PS: Thinking of changing my moniker. Getting tired of Aloha Mike. FWIW, aloha is overrated anyway. There is more "Aloha" in Alaska than in Hawaii and I'm starting to feel like a cliche'. We've also got alohal, and Mr. Aloha on SI, and I'm starting to feel a bit homogenized. I'm trying to decide whether to go deeper undercover or increase accountability by giving something akin to my real name?
