What do you think of EMC here? FA seems to be lousy but other storage stocks are humming leaving them behind. I have had over sold signals on it all week and keep waiting for it to run but it just doesn't seem to be able to hold gains. OT Sorry to hear about you Waterhouse problems. I have been more happy with them lately than I was the last few years. They used to have horrible option quotes but they finally switched quote providers and fixed their web site. Only thing I hate is that there is no way to get through to my local broker anymore. The guy in Boise is good to work through and now all I can do is talk to their national switch board which seems to always be answered by some Latin speaking guy that never understands english, has no idea what a put or call is, can not fathom why I want to place an order in any style other than a market order and takes 10 minutes to type the order in. When I do spreads he is always totally confused and has to get a supervisor which takes an additional 10 minutes. I finally gave up calling. I just use my web enabled phone or else regular internet. Unfortunately only Ameritrade and E-trade have web phone capabilities other than Waterhouse so I have to stay here so I can trade from work. We can't use government computers for "other than official business" so I use my webphone to stay in touch with the market. E-trade gives me delayed Briefing.com news and I get quote lists and order entry through Waterhouse on it. E-signal is also on it but I never use it. Good Luck, Lee
