Yawn. No actually this is good to hear, Randy - competiton can only help us all in the end. So I can save $0.99 a trade. But do they have instant execution, free real-time quotes, and all the other things Datek offer? In fact, even if they had all that and everything else Datek offers, I still wouldn't go through the hassle of switching just to save $0.99 a trade. I guess maybe some of the serious daytraders would, though.

PS: I haven't posted here lately because there's a possibility that I might not get to go to NYC after Christmas, and everyone here seemed so excited about that for some reason (sorry). Maybe it will still happen - I really want to see NYC, Datek, and meet some of the great guys I've been talking to here.
