Unreal. Put in limit order for 1500 KTEL 11 9/16. Filled 500. Tried cancelling the remaining 1000 shares for 14 min. Would not let me cancel. Fluctuated between live order and open. The best part is when i tried to sell my 500 shares at 13 It came back cannot short sell this stock today.After 14 min and 20 attempts it allowed me to cancel the 1000 share open order at which time i was allowed to sell Ktel at 12 13/16. Scary

Dear Datek Online Customers, As a few of you have seen, we have credited the previous month's interest to your accounts, but we have not added the actual entry to your history page as yet. This should be completed shortly. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused and I'm sorry I did not communicate this to you earlier. Regards, Tim Richter Datek Online

True enough. I'm surprised though that the trade confirmations arrived in my email-box without the usual day-after delay (if ever) the past few days. I guess Datek's either trying to do better or our expectation of the service is so low that things like this are a cause for celebration.
