I am posting this message to all of the major Canadian trading sites to warn people to stay away from Stockwiz Data Service. This is the letter I wrote to the company recently. To whom it may concern: I am a new subscriber to Stockwiz as of November 5, 1998. The main reason I signed up with your service was to get reliable quotes for Canadian equities. Up to January 18th I have been pleased with the service and have recommended your product to several of my colleagues. However to my disappointment the data for Canadian equities was not posted on January 18. It is now January 27th and the data has still not been posted to your site. The indicators I use for scanning are sensitive to missing data. If you are not planning to provide the data for Canadian equities for January 18th please cancel my subscription. Sincerely Keith Massey I failed to mention in the letter that a large number of stocks are missing huge amounts of data which I had to fill in manually. In addition the Stockwiz program used to organize and export data is very slow. Today I received the reply from Stockwiz Keith, The Canadian data for the 18th of January was lost for good. Sorry about that. It was beyond our control. Your cancellation for the StockWiz Daily Data service was processed. We are currently working on some great improvements to our service. Do not forget to visit our web site at stockwiz.com from time to time. Thanks to trying out our service. Steve Kalhas StockWiz support This is not how you treat customers!!!! I download the missing data for Jan 18 from Canada Stockwatch and fixed the volume manually. Why couldn't a site I pay for do the same thing? Between the brokers and the data provider I feel like I am taking it coming and going in Canada. Best Regards KEITH

I thinkfor all we could either start an OSF thread or take our details private - I wanted to post mine a few times as I do know a little bit about this Industry and more importatntly their customers and how they work. Regradless I think some of us will be in and out of OSF tomorrow just like DMC BSP and EKD of late - The market generaally tend so to oversell on bad news much like good news tends to drive stocks up too high. Otherwise we would be bored silly. LOL

Excellent post Chief. I'm comfortable with my decision to hold the stock overnight, but I'd be the first to admit that it could open up at 5.50 tomorrow. I've been amazingly lucky with Dead Cat Bounces in the last two weeks (BOL, YF.A, BSP, EKD) and I know that there are some losers on the horizon. Also, I'm more than happy to read hair splitting comments whether positive or negative... varying opinions (void of BS) can only help this thread. Good Luck to All Crane
