Wanted Urgent: research helper to track alerts! ALSI our only earnings play for Friday was upgraded to strong buy this afternoon after a great earnings report. [It went Up 7 3/8 points and I totally missed it. I'm not sure how many subscribers did track it and if you did please e-mail me] Market Gems wants a full time/part time trader who can track alerts/changes during the trading day for all our earnings plays and watch list picks. You need to have a trading system and real time charts, real time news alerts, time & sales, but not Nasdaq Level II. Compensation at first will be a year's subscription to market gems. Additional compensation will be given on a 'contractual' basis. You will have to help me and "fill in" for me with the intraday updates for Market Gems picks probably by instant "broadcast" e-mail to me which we will then disseminate either on Silicon Investor and/or through broadcast e-mail to the subscribers. ____________________________ CHICAGO, Feb 19 (Reuters) - Shares of Advantage Learning Systems Inc.
