Rodney,

I want to do for some other ETFs what Roy has done for SPY and QQQQ.
But the problem is that I don't have the A/D data or the New High/New
Low data. And creating these from the stocks that make up the ETF is
beyond what I can do right now in Metastock. If someone created the
plugins, I'll buy them.
