Richard, that quotes plus 2.0 looks better and better....
But they give you "theoretical" index values, instead
of actual, don't they ?
I know you believe in just letting your stock tell you
which way the market blows, but I saved a PILE of
money this last correction by watching the (real)
indexes like a hawk. A lot of the stocks I was in, are
now half their high value.
Is there a solution for getting real indexes and quotes
plus speed/flexibility, without subscribing to TWO
data services ? I'd sure like to hear about it !
Dick
