Hey Peter! Nice picture of you, Jeffrey and Josh in April 6th Forbes. Looks like Jeff couldn't take it and just had to put a nice shirt and tie on for the picture taking - looks like Josh couldn't have cared less and your somewhere in the middle of the spectrum(g) Anyways, honestly, was a great article. PS - Sign me up for alpha testing Level I streamlining quotes. I can't wait. Dax daxs@beancounter.com

Peter, an IPO ? When the time comes, how about giving your customers a first crack at it. Maybe limit it to those who have been customers for at least 6 months or so, just to separate the loyal ones from just the ones who would sign up just for the IPO. We are the ones that have helped build Datek, we have been through some of your growing pains and have stuck with you. How does that sound? Ernie Kelley

Peter, what's the story with options trading? i was under the impression that they would be around in q1 98 (ie now). are they still in the plans and if so when? i am very happy with datek and hoping i don't have to open an etrade account RS to anyone else- is there a cheaper options broker than etrade which is $20 + 1.75 per
