Hey JN, Market Summary - 7:26:12 PM EST - Tuesday, November 9, 1999 - Markets are closed for the day. DJIA 10617.32 [Down]101.53 NASDAQ 3125.04 [Down]18.93 S&P 500 1365.28 [Down]11.73 30 Yr Bond 6.06 [Up]0.01 Today was not a great day, across the boards (except for the hand-wringing "..bondies.."; a group to which I do not subscribe. Many of those attending the ECNC Road Show traveled to get there, and their impact (..based on their very positive response..) will probably not be felt for several more days. In the interim, Tom, Manny, Dai and others (..me, in Chicago..) will truck onward to get the word out. The more VIP-level brokerage people who know (..that instant PC-to-trading-Acct deposits = instant commissions..) , the quicker inked-contracts for services will occur. Your expression of frustration is really a compliment, because - if we were in the lemon drop business - we could put 1000 bags on a table and sell them all in no time flat. Once a client has signed on, it will takes several weeks to implement the technical elements (..hardware, software, configuration, start-up, de-bug, etc..), and then some additional time to get ePINpads to the users. In the interim, most people (..like you and I..) will address the "..Dam*, that's slick.." phenomenon, then go out and glom up some share for themselves. And/or refer the subject to some friends. In the case of the people attending the Road Show - those may be some VERY POWERFUL & DEEP-POCKETED FRIENDS..!!"..Large Matthew.." sez: he now thinks 0.17 is the new technical bottom - you might double-check with Mr. Magraf. If you're on my side of the fence (..Note: this is not a recommendation..) you will keep collecting. If you are on Matthew's side, you may decide to BTS - if that's how you get your kicks. Keep your eye on the big picture, as well as on the prize. And, keep in mind that if you put in as much unpaid-O/T as the ECNC staff - your dating life would consist of shaving and a pillow. (Sorry, Ernie - I still do that..!!) Regards, John :-)
