I've heard Kaucher's charge that S&C awarded first place to a product that
didn't exist at the time, to wit:
">Mark Brown
>==================================================
>BTW, you might want to ask yourself how far the fraud goes. Can you tell
>me how Tradestation\DTN wins the award from TASC for best institutional

>You couldn't even buy\lease it from DTN. I tried! Advertising revenue can

>================================================== "
Actually Dow Jones/TradeStation (not DTN/TradeStation) won in 1998 (See
Bonus Issue, page 16). We received numerous votes for Dow
Jones/TradeStation from users and it was installed, so this widely-repeated
charge is incorrect.
BTW, the product is now owned by Bridge and information on it can be found at
http://www.djmarkets.com/nhome/products/tradest.html
Lastly, it's important to keep in mind that the Readers' Choice Awards are
exactly that: READERS' choices. They aren't S&C's choices. They aren't John
Sweeney's choices. They are "elections" and we all know that elections
produce discomfiting results.
