<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>INTERNET TRADING- I have just installed ping
plotter <A
href="http://nessoft.com/pingplotter/alert.html";>http://nessoft.com/pingplotter/alert.html</A>
and what an real eye opener. I found out there are 14 connection to my online
trading company, pmb. On an experiment I set ping plotter to trace every second
of my connection quality, I timed it for one minute and did the experiment 15
times. I have discovered the internet connection quality is not reliable
(readings over 1000) 15 second of each minute. I am seriously considering NOT
trading S&P's anymore over the internet. Any one out there care to
comment?</FONT></DIV>

The symbology that currently exists is set by the data vendors and the
amount of "field" allowed for the quote. The current proposal is
to do a changeover in the symbology after decimals are introduced mid-year(scheduled)2000.
So that numbers would be allowed in the quote "field". The concern
is the availability of bandwidth. The changeover to decimals just
about triples the required capacity for option quotes and currently there
is too little capacity already. Many quote services have already
dropped quotes on the less actively traded issues. The additional
challenge is economics ... the quote vendors have grown to really dislike
options and are reluctant to spend additional resources.

I never trade internet stocks, but AOL looks interesting. Below is a
combination of Alternate Price Projections, and Internal retracements.
Time wasn't placed on the chart because it would get to messy. What I
think are the strongest CIT's are Aug 6 and Aug 12. Reason, economic
data on Aug 6 and Fib Time Zone of 34 CD on Aug 12.
Any comments or thoughts on the chart? Does someone trade AOL use
something different that works better, please advise.
TradeWell,
Joe Frabosilio
