Re: GEN - Futures Data providers

Mark,
	Good luck getting help, suggestions, support or thoughtful commentary out
of this bunch on Futures/Commodities outside of maybe the S&P. I use
betterdata.com(Prophet) and they are improving. With the recent addition of
continuos contracts for the $16 Month, I consider it very good. You will
likely want to get more then 2 years of data eventually(for back testing
etc.) that will cost you 30 something and fop a couple of bucks more you
can get stocks, indexes, etc. then you will have something to talk to the
masses about. 

B.R.,
Brent
