re : trading algorithms andy , sounds good . one comment : vasant is swamped with work coordinating several high profile projects . bob is very productive and thorough and will get a lot of support internally from other members of the group : this contribution may not be directly visible but it will be still very important . we appreciate your hands - on involvement . it ' s always the most important condition of a successful project to have direct and frequent interaction with the customer . look fwd to working on this project . vince from : andy zipper / enron @ enronxgate on 04 / 18 / 2001 01 : 57 pm to : jay webb / enron @ enronxgate , vince j kaminski / hou / ect @ ect cc : subject : trading algorithms guys , here is what i took away from our meeting : 1 ) . research will continue working on custom reporting off of enrononline data . 2 ) . research will continue working on market analysis off of enrononline data 3 ) . research will a contribute a resource to the trading algorithm effort , presumably one at this point in time . i would prefer it to be vasant but i am flexible . the trading algorithm group will be run by the enrononline team with its product reviewed by research . it is my belief that projects like this require a firm commercial hand in their infancy to make sure they stay on the right track . if this presents a problem for anyone please let me know so that we can discuss . thanks , andy
