I called and talked to a Datek rep. don't remember his name, and I told him that I have had my account with them since last July and why couldn't they go back and look at my original application to and see that I was not a professional user. He said sir you will have to fax us a letter telling us why you "THINK" your are not a professional user. I replied that I was not doing a child like essay begging for their service, and that if I filled out more papers it would be to transfer my account to another broker. He replied well ok then sir that is fine with me. I guess Datek has more customers than they need and the owners enjoy loosing customers. Wish I could remember dudes name so I could post it here. Looking for a new broker as I write, gosh you don't think they are the only on line brokers out there do you....:) Blowout P.S. Datek I THINK I am NOT a professional user so there fore I am NOT!
