Datek has never dealt with a full deck. You have to understand the limitations and either put up or find a better deal. If I were trading a high dollar portfolio I would go with A.B.Whatley and pay a higher commission, but for my small portfolio, Datek fits ok.

Yiwu:

Thanks for the reply. I can't quite understand where they are charging 7% on shorts. Perhaps it's because my net cash position was positive each day, even after subtracting the value of shorts. I'll do it again for my January statement, wherein I have a margin interest charge.

Can you take me through your calculation slowly. I really want to get this question nailed down.

thanks, peter
