Not sure if I will trade or not.  I'd buy the data anyway, but buying
it is not so easy.  Download quotes, for example, offers the entire
market pretty reasonably.  But I don't want the entire market, and I
don't want a database cluttered with the entire market.  However,
they have restrictions on the size of lists you can make, so
downloading from them is not the most convenient thing in the world.

<sigh>
