I go away for a few hours and come back to find a whole discussion
has taken place about Fidelity. Sorry you guys had your accounts frozen.
It seems the least they could have done was inform you when they did it. I do think
there are problems with every discount broker. But I simply have never had
any problems with Fidelity and, in fact, every time I give them a good suggestion
as to how to improve something, sooner or later I'm surprised to find they make
the change. I have found them to be eminently sensible.
Actually, the new "web station" incorporates part of what has been offered
in the fox software. It will work, however, only using a *specific* version of the
Microsoft Explorer browser. I was disappointed to find out that, once again,
owning a Mac puts me behind the 8-ball, as it will not work with a Mac system.
I have been relegated to paying a monthly fee for a web-based (java) dynamic quote
feed (ww.quote in Canada) that is cheap( $30 per month) and pretty good.
But I'm waiting for a package that offers Level II quotes at a low price, even though I don't
do that much trading.

>>> I will let the proverbial cat out of the bag and reveal to you all that I am currently
writing the *first* book on the psychology of cyber-investing (not just day trading).
While I will not tell you my name yet, down the line I will tell you more as the book comes
closer to its publication date. So, I play with bulletin boards, watch the market closely
and read a lot of stuff as research for writing the book, which will be published next year
by McGraw Hill. Tentatively titled, "Wealth@Net: The Psychology of Online Investing."
Good luck to all and may CMGI wake up and move in the proper direction.
And I could use another guaranteed dividend like Sweet Enga real soon!
