He seems to have his own agenda. For instance, I've never seen "incredible" and "Datek" used in the same sentence before. Robbie, I don't think it's fair of you to take a potshot at my posts and throw the charged word "agenda" into the discussion. This forum is under the heading "Brokers/Resources," meaning that its purpose is to discuss the quality of service (unlike <https://www.siliconinvestor.com/subject.aspx?subjectid=19734>, which is more appropriate for discussing the company's stock). My posts have always discussed the quality of service of Ameritrade, and where appropriate, I compare my experiences at other brokerages. Yes, I do have an opinion of Ameritrade's quality of service, but I have always taken care to consider all the pertinent facts and, even more important, to reveal all those facts so that other readers of this thread may reach their own, possibly contrary, opinions. Trust me, the moment Datek screws up, I'll be over on that thread telling the story. Likewise, if I get unusually good service from a brokerage (as I did today from Ameritrade), I'll relate that to the appropriate thread. The implication of your post is that I've taken it on myself to trash AMTD (not Ameritrade) and to hype Datek stock, not Datek (I actually don't know whether Datek is a publicly held company). That's quite an accusation, and it's unwarranted.
