Thanks Dan,

Everyone who has responded to my request for information and comments has been very complimentary of most of the services provided by IB.

There was a 10 minute wait on the telephone to speak with a person. There is no response to an email I sent yesterday to C/S. With a reliable trading system and excellent record keeping, this should be OK. I am assuming they do well on this...

Concerning margin policy, I wonder if IB has a minimum equity requirement tougher than 50% to buy and 30% min equity after that. What about stocks like the dot.com's and unusual concentration of stocks in hi technology, for example? I though most brokers require more than 30%...

Thanks,

Lonnie
