Someday We'll All Invest This Way.

Yeah, when we're 102 years old and can hardly move.

Here's the story of my attempt to place a trade at E*Trade's sight.
Just before this post.

Fill in order page and click Preview Order.

30 sec. later - Nothing changes. Stop and click again.

6 minutes trying to place a trade and I still haven't been
able to send the order in!

I'm can't even be bothered to do all the waiting
and reloads to place the order and then wait 20
or 30 minutes for a confirmation.
Datek here I come! $10.95 a trade. Confirmations
within 1 minute or your trade is commission-free.

Imagine THAT at E*Trade, ha, ha, ha, ha....

Cheers,
Bond
