This company is unique and the “owners” are the brokerage houses. i.e. a sale costs x many cents and we got the x many cents, Anytime we had to increase the prices the brokerage houses screamed bloody murder. For instance a new CPU for us took profits away from the buys/sellers. We always had to beg money out of them for anything. When the brokers heard that they could make more money if the DC was in Texas they mandated the move. I think what bit them in the end was the automated sell/buy orders. At one time we were doing 200,000 contracts a day and with computerized trading it broke 2,000,000 a day. Ed ps: The numbers I used were rough numbers as its been 20+ years and my memories is going. > > On Sun, Mar 12, 2017 at 1:23 AM Edward Gould <edgould1...@comcast.net> > wrote: > >>> On Mar 11, 2017, at 8:17 AM, scott Ford <idfli...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> >> >>> Amen Jack, everyone doesn't get that mainframe sysprogs and developers >> >>> really aren't a dime a dozen. >> >>> >> >>> My dad used to say "buy cheap get cheap", see this everyday.. >> >>> >> >>> Scott >> >> >> >> Scott: >> >> A place I used to work moved their computers down to TEXAS as its was >> supposed to save them money. >> >> It didn’t. >> >> Ed >> >> >> >> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >> >> For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, >> >> send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN >> >> -- > Scott Ford > IDMWORKS > z/OS Development > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
