Difficult to understand why Lfg waits till 8.04 am on Monday to send this
out to clients when a) CME informed Lfg on Friday that Cubs for S&P would be
inoperative through Tuesday and b) Tom Pelling the Lfg broker in the S&P
using Cubs is on holiday -

Anyone else place an order this morning and waited for a fill ?(following
Lfg's assurances on Thursday's email) that it would be up and running on
Monday ?
