I've had enough and am looking for a new online broker. I'm looking for one that has: - instantaneous executions and cancelations (I change my mind a lot) - a large inventory of stocks to short (and will let me do it without "checkng inventory") - realtime account updates I have heard a lot about Wately and MB Trading. Does anyone have any experience with these, or other firms? I've done time w/ Ameritrade (horrible), and it sure sounds that Waterhouse does not want you to short stock (you have to tell them that you did a cover buy!) Any response will be appreciated, as I am moving funds out of Datek first thing tomorrow morning! michael
