Thanks Datek. I just wanted to give credit where credit is due. Had 4 trades today. The first 3 were Nasdaq stocks and Datek was its usual lightning fast self. Max 7 seconds execution of the three trades. The fourth trade was a NYSE stock, BA. It was a market sell that took over 3 minutes to execute. Luckily there was no real price movement. I have only had one other free trade with Datek (of over 200 trades), and on that one the commission simply wasn't deducted in the Daily Activity window. On this one though, they charged me a commission. Uh-oh Customer Service. But I was pleasantly surprised. About 1-2 minutes phone wait, and then a quick resolution; next trade free. Thanks Datek.
