Profunds index and sector trading

[was Steve]

my thoughts to lighten up the gold by 50% were good as its the leading loser of sectors today. so looks like im in for a frustrating day as my shorts are barely down and my longs are leading the charge. not what i wanted after yest afternoons frustrations.

does anyone know why internet access via cable would slow down. the last few days have rained up here in portland and my performance has slowed to close to dial up speeds. rain may not be it. it could be all my neighbors jumping on my wireless internet (though i doubt that)

any thoughts appreciated
