>>>Hey weren't you the one I argued with about FAST? executions at Waterhouse?<<<

Very likely. Waterhouse executions are lightning fast. The problem there is getting them to take the order. Shorts, they have to have a live person approve. After a certain number of trades, longs too. No updates of account balances in real time, etc.

>>>Glad to see you coming around.<g> I, too have switched to MB.... world of difference, you'll see.<<<

Yeah, I had to find out that it's worth the extra dollars the hard way. Saved a bunch on commissions with Datek, left probably 5 or 6 times as much on the table because of the lousy executions.
