Re: Understanding FIX for a Newbie
Mark Murray <>
7 Mar 2007 4:47AM ET Many thanks for this very in depth information. I will now go about trying my best to at least gain some understanding of the areas you prioritised.
Hopefully, I can get myself into a position that will enable me to move forward with some of this understanding behind me.
Once again, thank you very much and all the best for the future.
Kind regards,
Mark Murray.
