Hello Hikitty... :)

I am treating this one as a technical beauty of a darling now!... :) 

No one can time or 'predict' the market.  

They call it "sharks fin" elswhere.. :)

(Sharksfin Note: I am personally alarmed by the schools of poor finless sharks I see struggling at the bottom of the oceon  whenever I eat sharks fin).

Just a personal opinion... Good luck! :)

DEUTSCHE BÖRSE AND GLOBAL VOICE CONCLUDE AGREEMENT ON PROVISION OF
DARK FIBER CONNECTIONS

DEUTSCHE BÖRSE REDUCES LATENCY TIME AND FURTHER INCREASES NETWORK
CAPACITY


Singapore, 30 May 2007 ? Global Voice Group, (SGX: H23.SI), owner and operator of
one of Europe?s highest capacity fiber networks and provider of mission critical
communications infrastructure and services, today announced it concluded an
agreement with Deutsche Börse (Frankfurt Stock Exchange) for the deployment of
private fiber networks in Europe.
Deutsche Börse Systems expands its communications network, which links clients
across the globe to the electronic trading, clearing and settlement systems with a
new connection technology. From the end of May, dark fiber connections will be
used between clients and Deutsche Börse access points. Dark fiber connections are
fiber-optic connections used exclusively and offering virtually unlimited bandwidth
which will be made available to Deutsche Börse Systems at a large number of client
locations in Frankfurt, London, Paris and Amsterdam by provider Global Voice.
The ever-increasing volume of data in electronic stock exchange trading is
prompting higher demands with respect to bandwidth and the minimum possible
latency. Deutsche Börse Systems quadrupled the bandwidth of the Eurex and Xetra
trading systems in December 2006 and introduced the optional 2Mbit/s and 1
Gigabit/s connection types for Xetra in April. Dark fiber will allow such upgrades to
be implemented much faster in future.
?Our cooperation with Global Voice puts us in a position to realize changes
requested by our clients within a very short time span. This represents a further step in
the constant optimization of the latency and efficiency of our infrastructure,? said
Michael Kuhn, CIO of Deutsche Börse.
?We are delighted to have been selected by Deutsche Börse for this exciting project
which will see Deutsche Börse and euNetworks connecting and rolling out services
to numerous financial institutions on dedicated fiber networks. Global Voice, as the
owner and operator of one of Europe?s highest capacity networks, was uniquely
positioned to provide the density of fiber required, enabling the Deutsche Börse and
the financial services sector with the redundancy, security and resilience
demanded?, said Noel Meaney, Chief Executive Officer, Global Voice Group.
