Get used to it, what some of us might think is an invasion of privacy, is actually some companies idea of getting better with their service.
Like many of the issues of the day, including trading, everything is evolving thanks to technology and social media. Just look at Facebook, Twitter and all of the other current accepted ways of communication.
I know some on this board come here with an agenda, like Fox news does each day, but many companies are trying to stay current in their offerings. Staying ahead of the competition, before the competition comes in and takes market share away from them.
SI has been around for many years, and in some ways it hasn't changed much over the years. We might not like certain aspects of this change, but without change, we would never know how far we have all come.
Some would like to return to an easier time, where things stayed the same for years. I doubt very much that can happen, look at Ameritrade, I have lost my old streamer, and some days I hate, but I do like the individual stock charts I get, so I use my back up streamer from E-Trade. I do not use E-Trade except for the streamer, but then I only have two computers on my desk.
Today will be a long day of playing chicken, some of us will be looking for news out of Washington for news that at least gives everyone some assurances that a deal will be agreed upon. Obama wants the government open as a condition of a deal, while Republicans still want it closed, I just wonder how the Republicans will spin it. In the meantime only certain stocks really were strong yesterday so many others did not participate at all. A very narrow rally in my opinion.
SWY seems to of had another nice bump this morning.
