As an update on all this. I know FTSE beater more or less left the public trading face to concentrate on his golf swing.
Helen Q started the excellent eurostoxx site, but received an official cease and desist notice from the eurostoxx people in reference to her web site.
It would be nice to find out what happened to Skim. I think she went on to better her trading at pastures new after a stupid run in with a couple of people on this site. Think she decided it wasn't worth the effort. And I agree with her there.
