[10:42] I'm sidelines...I always get too nervouse via the fact I "feel" (no proof) that other exchanges don't go to far in price away from the price at the time another exchange goes down. [10:44] Thus, if the other Eminis stay tight...shouldn't see more than a +/- 3-5 points difference in YM re-opening.
