Scrapps, I agree, I need to switch it over to e-Schwab. I just need to take the time and go fill out those forms. It would make more sense to be sure, and then I might be quicker to shift the money into whatever I think is performing, if the cost is lower to make the trades. DK

<< eSchwab >> Scrapps, they have a lot of extra fees once eSchwab is traded off-line. And as you found out, these options aren't available, without a wait at the least, during heavy market activity. For options, where the commissions hurt the most, there is no discount of substance anywhere that I've seen. Also I'm suspicious of the execution priorities in Etrade. Have you ever given a market order on a liquid stock and been clipped a 1/4 fraction or semmingly so? << you can trade an e Schwab account via eSchwab, Telebroker, the Web, the local Schwab office. >> Greg
