I'll look later, if I get a chance. Figures about those System trades, I get three of them kick in almost at once and they all reverse almost at the same time. Put a dent in all the scalping I did all day. I was a tad annoyed at all three whipping at the same time; never saw that happen before. So I did not reverse with the systems. I suppose had I taken them Long yesterday this reverse would not have bugged me at all, but to have spent all that time successfully shorting all day then to have the damn system trades give me a loss is irritating to say the least. Well, I have to run and send out some mail. I'll try to remember to deal with that question tonight.

I have a problem which may preclude your question in order of importance. Seems upon my return home the power is out. The Universal Power Supplies were whining like crazy so it could not have been for very long but everything is down except for this portable I'm on. The Utility Company says four hours....I don't know if that includes the time these guys spend in the local pubs or not. But now I have two problems, one being a high school freshman who needs help for his Math Final tomorrow and the other working on the database. With the power out I don't know if I can get either one satisfied but I'm afraid the data isn't the first priority if and when it kicks back in, Tom. I really hate this stuff, evidently I live on a street where our transformer is the last to be reset each time because it affects the fewest number of people. Of course this does not carry much weight when I see the Utility people hanging out in the pubs.....but no matter what I'm locked out here. Maybe I can create a Utility Thread where Utility workers will listen patiently to my complaints......something like the Quote.com Thread. Anyway, I'm really out of power here and it's getting dark. If I get something going later I'll follow that stuff up but to be honest it's something I would like to do but I think I may not be able to. The kid's math is going to be my first task if I get power back tonight.

I forget exactly how I was going to word this but it seems I cannot easily find that information. It seems that after getting my electric back and then re-learning Quadratics for my son's sake I tried to retrieve what you were looking for and was unsuccessful. Trying to log on to SI to explain this is a nightmare, evidently @Home is not finding SI so here I am back on the damn portable using Earthlink again. I think between power outages and @Home failures I've just about reached the end of my rope tonight so I'll catch up with the thread over the weekend or next week. I'm spending more time trying to post a simple message than I am researching the information to put in the message. Anyway, I'm less bearish. I would explain, but the way things are going before I got half of it out I would have a damn earthquake here in Jersey so I'll post while things are still working and catch up when I can.
