Hi Carrol,
I think your right about this I thought about this myself once but because
of the nature of the trading game the turn over is very high. Then list
members already have contracts with their perspective venders. I have heard
the list numbers close to a thousand. From that number you might be able to
get 400. To have a real number to negotiate with perspective vendors for
data quotes you might need a letter of intent from the 400. The letter
would disclose prior commitments to the vender and that the he or she would
change over when is was possible. I vote for you to be the president.
