Hi Stefan! Bummer, my friend. I have been having very poor functionality from DLJ as well..slow executions, no streaming quotes, etc. Not good when the market moves this fast. I sold all my trading positions at the open. Not going to be able to watch them closely on a daily basis for awhile, so I decided to take some nice gains (and sleep better too!) I was feeling like a genius when the COMPQ reversed down 200 points, but I see it is now making a rapid recovery. I caught a snippet of Maria B quoting some brokerage firm/analyst as saying all of the good news is out on the opticals now. Anybody else hear this?

Stefan, you and Michael should be with a quality outfit like Schwab! I tried to bail out of something around 9:30 this morning, server not working, could get quotes but not execute trades, so I called my "Platinum" team - after all, a Platinum member's different, right? Couldn't get through after 15 min of trying, gave up, major pissed off. Called back later in the afternoon, and by that time the stock I was going to sell was back up, the Server was working perfectly, and the "team" picked up in 7 seconds. "Well, you've got to understand sir, that when the server isn't working, everyone calls at once..." DUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
