Some states are delaying their retail choice programs, but others are moving ahead, confident that they have benefited from the lessons learned by the pioneering jurisdictions. Electric price volatility drives growth in the risk management business. Credit and cash flow are squeezed, but financial products provide solutions. Gas price volatility is a reminder-- coal was and remains the great source of energy for our country. Dot-coms seem to have been exposed as just ordinary businesses-- but online trading in energy is the single most robust area for transactions on the net. The IPO market hasn?t been kind to technology stocks-- but it likes energy issues. Broadband trading has been slow to take off, but powerline telecom may solve the real problem-- access to "the last mile". Please join us at the Power Marketing Association?s annual spring meeting, "POWER MARKETS 2001: CRISIS AND OPPORTUNITY" March 14-16, 2001 Las Vegas, for presentations on these topics and more! Warmest Regards, Glenn Lovin Executive Director http://www.pmaconference.com/0103Agenda.pdf ************************************************************************ ------Advertisement------ How do I find people who know how to account for trading activity properly?
