Leaving Las Vegas...Headed to Philly!

Philly, here we come! Myself and the Education Gal will be there tonight for a show tomorrow. I am currently at Macarran in Las Vegas leaving a trade show that we participated in. I only have a few minutes but I wanted to leave you with what I found out while here.

It was a great show. Actually, it is still going. Met some of my good friends that I have gotten to know through the Scottrade world. I found out that certain songs when played on a continuous loop can infiltrate your mind until you unknowingly go out and buy the CD. You are not sure why you did, but now you own it and have to admit to people that you spent money for the priviledge of ridicule.

More importantly, I heard all types of traders. The underlying theme that I came across is pretty simple. Data is data. No one is looking for something that has not been created. They want it easy and in a format that is easy to understand. What do you want? I am listening to all feedback on this. What do you really want in a trading platform?

Lastly, I realize that the "Affliction" brand is out of control. Everyone has a t-shirt that proclaims "Affliction." Is there really anyone out that is so "afflicted" that they need to advertise this on their clothing? I feel for those if they are. That is some serious internal turmoil.

Anyway, enough rambling and time to board a plane. Take care until a follow up on Monday.
