Guy...
If I didn't follow stocks I could see using Compuserve as I look at
several hundred symbols for various opportunities. As the Spyder's come
into their own they may become my main focus and at that point my needs
may change to something much simpler. If that happens my data needs will
change. I guess the ultimate would be the S&P futures you're so
successful at, aaahhhh... someday. Do successful stock traders make
successful futures traders, anybody have any stories?
Appreciate the info, Best Regards... John
