Just curious if the myopic technology critics ever considered the
possibility that not everybody trades only S&P Futures and there are
actually other entities to trade that are not the equivalent of sitting on
the nose of a lear-jet in either a steep dive or a 10-G climb?
    
What about Stocks & Options??? -- Ever heard of breakouts, pivots, and many
other trade-able signals that lend themselves very well to not having to
camp out in a Futures Pit or be glued to a screen watching every pixel as it
is drawn???
