I hope all dads out there have enjoyed a great Father's Day today. It's just before midnight on the West Coast of Canada, and it always seems the time that I have a few minutes to saddle up and blog.

I'll be attending the Traders Expo in Southern California this week, and it's been amazing how many emails I've received from the event promoters on behalf of presenters this past week - 11 since last Sunday.

The subject line is always "LA Traders Expo Offers" and the headlines have included:

- Pristine Sponsors the LA Traders Expo
- Optioneer Trading featured at teh 2008 ...
- New Data Products - Visit NASDAQ OMX ...
- PEAK inside a new powerful trading ...
- Commodities are EXPLODING!!! ...

And on and on. Too many emails. Haven't they heard of consolidation? I don't necessarily care that they send them, I just won't read any of them. I figure I'll be there anyway and I'll probably make my rounds to visit all these folks anyway.
