Hear! Hear! Peter - Well stated with good intent.

I am sure Tim is making a yeoman's effort in what must be harrowing conditions organizationally.

I for one also appreciate cold hard facts, so that we can make intelligent decisions based upon the best information available.

The check writing issue is particularly frustrating because they have such a hard time handling what should be a very simple (because it should be virtually automated) function as wire transfers. My last two wires have not been executed in a timely manner which makes planning very difficult.

But I will stick in there for the long haul, because there is so much that is good about Datek.

Here's a vote for honesty and up front information.

Peter,

This is exactly why I stopped trading with datek.

There is a lot I like about datek, but if I can't trust them with small things (like telling the truth about money transfers, checks, trades,etc), how can I trust them with my money?

Mike
