AT you may want to consider a on line broker with no charge for multiple executions. Same day, same stock= 1 commission. Ditchdigger likes TradeWell. Post #3654 on Amigo thread has the low down on fees. I will be looking into them also as Datek is getting slower and slower. ht david

My Gawd, what happens at tax time?? Do you have to rent a Ryder truck to take your return to the post office? --- actually, I've often wondered how people here handle the tax accounting. Since I'm retired I do all of my trading out of my 401k I rolled over. Therefore no tax problems. Active traders must need a bookkeeper, full time, to keep their records in line???? As for my brilliant record today, I finally decided the damn thing wasn't going to come back to my price when it was at 9 1/2 ask, put in a market order, was super confident it was filled at the ask since it didn't move for a minute or so, then found out I was filled at 9 27/32 8 MINUTES later. So I phone, and the e-schwab guy says well, you gotta understand those were fast market conditions. And I say, yeah, fast market means lottsa trades, therefore lottsa liquidity. Therefore, fast fills, no? He says, I'll see what I can do. So far, nada. That's why I'm leaving e-schwab, never to return. Any way, I sold at 11 11/16, was horrified when the thing kept chugging along to 12 1/2, and got back in at at 11 5/8 just before the close. Brilliant trading - NOT. If it opens higher tomorrow, this will be a fastest gun in the west type of sell.
