If you have questions or concerns please let us know. BIGFOOT ADMIN NOTE: Due to a change in the way NASDAQ OMQ charges for Mutual Fund quotations, we are now downloading the data on a two-day delay. This will result in a delay in posting the weekly trade signals until Sunday and will also delay the Watch List signals and other system pricing for two days. We regret any inconvenience but the cost for daily quotations is basically prohibitive. Also, since we are dealing with funds, the delay, in most cases, should not be material in the execution of trades. If you have questions or concerns please let us know.
