Spots...

Your "multiple brokers" comment fits me perfectly. I want ONE trading account where I can do, for the most part, a couple of things. I want to do short term trades (couple days to couple weeks). In and out. I also want to occasionally buy something and write an option against that position.

That can't be done in two different accounts. That's my major problem with Datek. They've been promising to offer options for well over a year that I know of, but they're no closer to it today than they were then.

I just closed my Ameritrade account. Looked at Datek (see above), and will now look at Web Street and Waterhouse. Both of these offer all I need at decent commissions. Just don't know about their executions.
