yep that's where i found it... just left my copy at the office tonight by mistake.

Blech. are you nuts? 9-5 would kill me personally. I don't know about you're time schedule w/ trading, but i'm up at 6:00 already to read for the morning and to catch up on the overnight markets and to get a bead on the day. Open the market at 9, sure that's fine by me, maybe. But until 5? I'd...
