THESE GUYS ARE DETERMINED... to stay with the ISX through thick and thin. They keep reporting on it now matter what!!! Even if their offices are blown up, they are on their lap tops in cars!!! WOW!!!

"Market Report Out from wrecked KC offices, September 22

Staff of Kubba Consulting, KC, compiled this report and uploaded today's trade figures from roaming cars using laptops. This helped boast moral in the wake of a huge explosion nearby the offices of KC on Rabee street west Baghdad yesterday morning. No one was hurt but the offices were left wrecked. Repair workers worked almost all night long to repair the damage. Work was interrupted again Wednesday morning when terrorists struck again in the vicinity of the office. All the tinted glass of the office, repaired last night, was shattered again. Staff decided to vacate the premises and work from home and from cars.

Trade on the ISX went on as usual unhindered and in defiance of the marked increase in violence. Volume, made up by 433 contracts, was actually up on previous session to over $1 million...."

"Under the circumstances ISX performance today is a bright sign given the level of violence all over the city of Baghdad. The ISX itself must now be taking extra security precautions to guard itself against this new wave of terrorism. The planned step by the ISX to quickly introduce electronic trading is one step in enhancing security. An RFP for automation systems closed two days ago."

I belive they are refering to the bid for the contract for the automation systems that was extended to the end of september from the CPA.

I guess the contractors are being reviwed..

Oh... In government contracting, "RFP" means "Request For Proposal"

RFP = Request for proposals.

Govt. talk for seeking bids. When folks worry about how long things take, there are a multitude of steps with time required for each to make sure all the t's are dotted and I's crossed and that everyone interested has a chance to get in the game.

In fact, most contracts funding begins in October and I bet that after security, this paperwork is why only a portion of the money alotted to Iraq has been spent so far.

But when things start moving, hold on! :eek: :D
