I'm exact opposite. Got feed up with bad service from DATEK and transferred most assets to DLJDirect. I have not had any problems with getting margin with DLJDirect, but have had with numerous stocks on DATEK.

Al, I have had good luck (only minor problems) with Datek and use them primarily now because GNET (my largest holding) is marginable. WEBT, however, is not. :-( brk

Datek is definitely not the "one account that does everything" that you seek. For one thing, they are terrible for shorting (used to be the best...in the good 'ol days Datek would let you short anything).
