ERRATA: EXCHANGE HOURS

Article ThumbnailEditor,
I enjoyed Josh DiPietro’s article, “Intraday Trading In The First Hour” (June 2012 S&C), although I’m not sure I’m ready... However, I wondered how both he and you messed up the New York ET market times. They are 9:30 am to 4 pm, not 9:00 am to 4:30 as stated in the article.

LOGGING INTO ONLINE ISSUE

Editor,
How do I get into the online magazine?

Tim Clark

You can download the monthly full-issue PDF by clicking on “Digital Edition [enter now]” from our homepage, then clicking on the issue to be downloaded. (As these are large files, the downloading could take a few minutes.) We offer only the past 12 issues for download. These PDF files are digital versions of the full printed issue.

You can access individual articles by issue as PDF files by clicking on “Complete Archive [enter now]” from our homepage, then clicking on the year & issue of interest, then clicking on “Download article.” The PDF file will download as an individual article. These files are relatively small and thus should download quickly.

VOLUME NUMBERS

Editor,
Could you please give me an idea on how to translate Stocks & Commodities volume numbers into dates of publication? In doing a search of articles at your site, the only reference I could find was the volume number; it would be nice to know the date so I can go to other portions of the website for more information.

I really enjoy the ability to go to the site and look at articles online. I have all my S&C issues for the last 20 years, but it sure is nice being able to look up articles on the site instead of trying to find where I put a given issue.

William Martin
