Wonder what led up to the spike and sell-off - maybe competitors are gaining
ground. Certainly the best short has been missed. Seems like many of those
who upgraded to Omega 2000 were busy trying out DTN at half BMI's basic
charges. And a fair number of traders seem to be switching to QCharts/QFeed
from other internet based feeds, including I'm sure, Signal On-Line. I'm
still running both but SOL is SOL when this month is over - I will not sign
an annual agreement for internet feed, the competition is too intense.
QCharts has its limits but the reliability has been amazing to me. Yesterday
afternoon and again this morning, SOL stopped receiving and I was unable to
log onto Yahoo! and several other high volume internet sites but QCharts
just kept ticking.
