I got a margin call from Datek today. Talking with customer service I found that although the PALM shares had appeared in my account, they had not been booked properly. The drop of COMS from 67 to 13 of course was too much for my margin to sustain without having the PALM value.

They quickly saw the error and assured me that Monday everything would be corrected.

I bet there are more stories like that these days.
