    CME website is down, wonder if it is getting a few hits tonight.

    Has anyone thought about the implications for JNPR or CIEN? CSCO too, but the lformer do a huge chunk of business with WCOM from what I remember.

  3. I think if you had shorted any or all of those you'd be ok.



    I haven't seen a quote for a while....looks like the plug's been pulled. Hmmm. Technical difficulties last night...perfect intro to technical difficulities tonight.



    Maybe the software isn't geared for -50 naz in one session...

    Chas,

    Actually, if I had not got out of bed today I would have been in better shape. Get squeezed cover, try to squeeze, no dice. Sell hedge purchase hedge, bleed bleed bleed.

    I still have some shorts on, but I got really lucky doing my pseudo workout and caught the Faber Report on WCON . So I feel a little better than I would have. I even found a few things I will try and bid for tomorrow.

    :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Oh and I looked at JNPR on Morninstar, 30% of their business comes from Q, ERICY, and WCON...

  9. trdr, it pays to do your homework. Someone (analyst)said today he would not buy networkers...did you hear that?

  10. If you are using AT financial you can put an * after the contract and the correct month will automatically come up.

    For example:

    SP*
    DJ*
    ND*
    etc....
