<<<You are taking Jon's comments as gospel truth. The truth is: Datek has made mistakes and not rectified them in accordance to SEC rules. A brokerage is not like a hamburger stand where customers can go somewhere alse if they don't like it. There are RULES Rodney in which a low commision cannot dispense with. The rules MUST be obeyed! No one should try to rationalize the errors that happened to a Datek victim. >>> Steve, the day Babcock understands this concept, he won't post here anymore. He'll have no defense. His only retort is "You knew they have problems, why do you still trade with them. Since you continue to trade with them, you should live with their problems." That's his only defense. He just can't grasp the concept of rules and playing by the rules. Andy
