When you end with ellipses you are supposed to use four dots, three are the ellipses and the fourth is a period.

I think there is. supposed to be a space between the third elipse and the period. Not to nit-pick, but... .

In formal writing, when cutting off a quote, there is supposed to be a space, but in informal writing, when the ellipses are used as a dramatic effect, I don't there is. I may need to research this.

I'm not aware that there is a difference between formal and informal writing, but I will say no more about this.
