<<I like using Datek a lot, but I have this lingereing discomfort that one day my money will disappear.>> Well Peter, your discomfort has become my reality as of today. I've been with datek for about a year and a half now and I too had read all the horror stories. Till now I thought I was immuned but no can do....I requested a check yesterday via overnight delivery only to find out today the money is still in my account. A kind of "DATEK REAPPEARING ACT" I would say. As far as I'm concered, I HAVE NO ACCESS TO MY FUNDS as of today. I tried calling the 1-888 # but it doesn't work from my area so I called their other line long distance only to be put on hold for 25min. When the phone did start ringing again, I was suddenly disconnected. This is not only a nightmare.....it's PATHETIC, I must say. The only thing I am left with right now is numbers on the screen. Look but don't touch, that is the message I get from datek now. As long as you see numbers on your screen you're OK. Try to get hold of those numbers(which of course represent wealth) and you'll have a bad dream. If any datek representative is out there, I send you this message: STOP THE B.S AND SEND ME MY MONEY TO MY HOME ADDRESS. MY account # is 591-0975 What's even worse is that no explanation was presented to me for their inability to deliver my money. I have sent the an e-mail today to one of their -get this- "FUNDS OUT" representative. E-mail and this thread is all have right now. As far as I'm concerned, my funds are as good as NUMBERS ON A SCREEN. SOMEONE....PLEASE HELP ME.....I've become a datek VICTIM. The thread will be updated as this nightmare continues. Kirk
