We are also using our stock to make strategic investments that provide value-added services to our myTrack members.

<all I know is I hear the same type of negativity over at AMTD et el> Currently have 3 accounts with ameritrade and have opened a MyTrack trading account just recently. Should add here I have used MyTrack for real time quotes for almost a year and a half. Gold member. Ameritrade is slow and sloppy. Sometimes my accounts are not updated (like cash/margin balances) for up to 5 days. I shit you not! To trade OTC: BB stocks w/ ameritrade the commissions are double Trac's and you have to call one of their brokers to trade the BB's. You seldom receive quick verifications of fills. Basically, you're left hanging, way to much. I've also, used Computel, Professional Discount Brokers, the old Kennedy Cabot. No other OLB compares to Trac! At least, from what I've encountered. Trac being so relatively new with the trading thingy will certainly have some growing pains to work out. And work out they will. IMHO, anyone who has a go with trading the MyTrack way, will never go back their current broker. It's a real shame, in these high tech times, that it takes (3 weeks) to have accounts moved to another broker. Although, I'm in the process of doing just that....go bye AMTD...Hello, Trac!
