Below is a reply to this same rumor started in another user group. I
found it very interesting.
"From: "Eduardo R. da Silva" <edasilva@xxxx>
Date: Wed Mar 9, 2005 8:00 am
Subject: RE: [EquisMetaStock Group] MetaStock v10
My name is Eduardo da Silva and I work for Equis, as many of you may
know I subscribe to the group and read the posts often. Even though,
I been having fun observing the post regarding MetaStock v10 and the
worries of everyone I thought it would be cruel to allow some of you
guys to become so worked up with false rumors.
I wanted to make sure everyone in the group knows officially from
Equis, since I represent Equis, that we have no intentions of locking
MetaStock to only a single data source as suggested. Equis is
honestly all about its customers, and what benefit would there be to
our users if we were to lock the data access in MetaStock to only one
vendor. The answer is none, so even though at times we have limited
resources, which may give the impression that we are staring at our
own navel, we make a serious effort and invest a lot of time and
money to ensure that we are looking outwards treating each customer
as if they were our only customer, our employer. I know that
sometimes it doesn't look that way but we are trying as hard as we
can.
Everyone around the office is passionate about our users, our
products and our company. Such Spirit is what has motivated my to
stay for over 5 years now, and honestly I am one of the newer
employees at Equis, I can say that over 80% of Equis' employees have
been working here for over 5 years. We want to make sure that we are
fulfilling the vision of Equis founder, Steve Achiles, "To help
people become better investors through the use of Technology."
Equis staff honestly strive to service its customers, if you have
suggestions of things that we can do not only to our product but to
our business practices to give you our Employer a more satisfactory
service please let us know, we have very thick skin around here so
you don't have to worry about offending any of us, after all you are
the boss.
Rest assured that this rumors are nothing but FALSE statements. They
are nothing but malicious rumors.
We thank you for your loyalty, for your dedication and appreciate to
MetaStock."
Just as I suspected.
