The volume pressure must be getting to them. I just got
the Email below from Datek. Understand that my account has
been at zero assets, zero balance for months. Naturally
requests to close it have been ignored, just like all
requests to Datek.

It does, however, partially answer a question I've been asking
for years, which is: "What is the value of 0/0?". Now we have
an important clue. It's "approaching 30%" <ggg>. Presumably
approaching from above, otherwise they would have "taken action" to
correct it. Sold half of those zero assets, or some such <GGG>.


Dear Mr. <spots>

This is to inform you that your equity-to-account value ratio is approaching
30%. If this ratio falls below 30%, you will have three business days to
either make a payment or sell some of your portfolio. However, Datek Online
reserves the right to take action at ANY time if market conditions warrant.

Your current margin ratio is: 0.0%

If you have any questions, please call us at (732) 744-8800 or email us
at margin@datek.com.
