>People hate Datek, and that might be the source of much of the >firestorm regarding this matter. The purple box with some other name >might be sweeter. (just guessing here) Why the hate? I was of the understanding that Datek is a favorite among active traders. I haven't researched theStreet.com survey and what it entailed, but apparently Datek finished #1. This is posted on the Datek home page "Datek Rated #1 by Online Investors. In what The Street.com has called 'a tight six-month online-broker derby', this latest survey reveals Datek Online to be the #1 online brokerage." Surveys such as this may not take everything into consideration. Is there a primary problem that needs to be addressed for you to be happy with Datek?
