Good morning Patrick; Thanks for the numbers. I hope the ppi does not mess up your trade. It looking pretty good for up. Now how are you going to make so much money in one year that you can retire? Did they say, look make us a profit and you can have the whole thing? Well I don't know what I will be retiring on, except that if I can continue to trade, I consider my self already retired, but I still have a lot to learn. Which reminds me, when you get the time, I could use a little help with prem. and how it effect the futures. But for today, have a good golf game, i hope you make a hole in one. I hope to make a couple of trades this morning and be done.

Hi Patrick, From earlier postings I remember that you subscribe to more than one quote service. Can you tell me whether a service you use sends useful bid/ask information on the pit traded index futures, like the current full contracts for the CME, like the SP0U or ND0U. Here's my experience at QCharts. I've recently added a CME real time agreement to my QCharts subscription since I am no longer exclusively trading the e-minis. Turns out the bid and ask information is very spotty and completely unusable for all but the emini contracts. QChars says the CME does not release the bid/ask information from the pits on a continuous or useful basis. Can you verify whether this really is a CME issue as QCharts claims, or is it a QCharts or S&P Comstock issue. Do your quotes from another source show a current, apparently valid bid and ask for these contracts real time during the trading day? Thanks for your help. Esteban
