Thanks, Andy.

I fixed that, but it dropped all people who've registered before.

That works as expected since you changed the date, it's a new event and people RSVP on the old event will be purged. Just ask people RSVP again.

If Gus doesn't need to use Bloomberg or Reutrs or sth, we can have it in Quant Lab ...

 

[Uncle Max]

Let's see how many people are interested. It may be too crowded for QN Lab if we have 20 people or more. I don't think Gus will need Bloomberg or something like that.

I learn a lot today. One of which is that I can be wiped out all of my $1M play money very quickly if I have no idea what I'm doing
Thanks for sharing the info and your wisdom, Gus.
