What the heck does this mean? They are a "SOES Bandit" firm looking to make a profit off of the Internet Broker explosion. You learned so much can you explain that? And why shouldn't they make a profit. SOES Bandit only means that they had trades that made a profit at the expense of MM's. So what is the problem with that. You try to sound like SOES Bandit is a crime. Rod..

>>They are a "SOES Bandit" firm looking to make a profit off of the Internet Broker explosion. They have some good computer systems Jack, good for them. And "SOES bandit", IMO, means good for us. In fact that's one of the things I like about them - the fact that they have so much experience in the SOES world. That experience translates into fast executions. I have a good friend who works as a Market Maker (OK, I forgive him for that). When i told him August a year ago that I was considering moving my account to Datek, he made a face and said "SOES!" like he had a bad taste in his mouth. That reaction right there was what made me join up with Datek, and I've had almost nothing but good experiences with them ever since. I think they should wear the phrase "SOES Bandit" like a badge of honor. bobk
