    Rod,

    I had the same problemlastnightand tonight. Oneof myPM's went to the matrix and got the "could not find page". Noticed that the loading of the home page is slow, sometimes.

    Please notchange my posts.

    Especially when it is to put a good light on another member and will be used to ban me in the future.

    Some of us are not that stupid to realize what is going on.

    Like another layer of gov here.

    Do our posts have a birth/death module? Adjusted for seasonaility?

    It looks like we have a monitor with an itchy trigger finger (I don't think it was me but I could be wrong). Either way, I stand by their (my) decision when posts are deleted. Theymusn't have been very informative. If you post trash, expect it to be thrown out.

    Stop wasting our time and we'll stop wasting yours. Fair enough?

    If someone is changing your post, that is a different story. PM me if that is happening.

    Thank you,
    Tom

    The monitor with itchy trigger will be me... However, account talk and account page are two of the busiest sections here on this board. People wants to be tracked which is why they are posting their moves and people are explaining their moves in their account talk so that others may learn and figure out the reasoning behind their moves with hope that readers wouldlearn from them.
    The twoindividuals who havelodgedsuggestions (?)have shown their disregard to other peoples' feelings and also have gone against what this board really stands for; which is to help others learn and to learn from others. Disagreement is good for the board and should be highly encouraged.However,both parties must learn to agree and to disagree. If left unchecked, total chaos will ensue and readers(silent majority ofthem) will suffer.Ihappen to be one of those silent majority and unfortunately have beenprovided the tools to do something about it. As a moderator and a tracker, I willalways try my best to guideothers not to waste other people's time.Many others understand what I am trying to do but a minority does not and will continue to try to disruptwhat harmony we may have worked for. I just want everyone to know that I didn't take this job so that i could toy with people's post. I would be more than happy to relinquish this tedious and thankless jobifthe administrator ask me to step down.Between tracking people's moves andmonitoring the busiestsection of this board, it isreally taking alot out of me. But i'll continue to provide my services aslong as I am able to do it.This is just my wayof giving back.
    I do thank everyone, to include the two individuals who are makingsuggestions, for refraining (at least lately) from bashing other people within themembers allocation and return talk... Iwill assure everyone that their post will not be deletedas long as they are not wasting people's time.
    PS... I could have sworn I deleted otherpeople's postsagainst those two individuals.Funny how theynever mentioned them? Hmmmm... Oh well, just like the news in Iraq, gooddeeds don't sell well with the media.:? Good luck to you all...

    You're doing a fine job Pyriel. Most of us here really do appreciate what you are doing.

    Thanks,

    In the Excel spreadsheet named newtsp.xls, I changed the calculations so thatnew lines can be inserted, see attached. Also added was a column to track the year to date return of 20% spread.

    Also, I could useinstructions and source code for automatically downloading and plotting low,high, closing prices and volume. I would recommend using a software like java or Excel. It's nice that people provide links to sites that charge a nominal fee for such charts, but I think we should be able to implement our own.

    Finally, we should have a transaction summary page. I still don't understand when you execute a transaction, when does the transaction occur compared to the change in share prices. Also, does someone know when the g fund changes prices. That date should be put up with the stock tracking charts, including the transaction deadline to obtain that price increase.
