<< Craig what do you think? >>

I think there are lots of better informed people to ask. I believe many on this thread use Datek, and would know better than I. The only thing that bothers me about Datek is they don't do options, and I am starting to delve into them more and more as my options research/education is progressing.

I have considered throwing some money into an account with Datek just so I could get my hands on some of the hottest shorts.

E*Trade is my favorite online broker for ease of use and they were even able to get me shares of KTEL after several tries. They have also given me as many shares of ZITL as I have wanted, except for once I think. They were even so kind as to not let me have any AMZN shares, they obviously must have known it was going higher. <g> I would have shorted AMZN today if I could have gotten some. Anyway E*Trade used to be a disaster but they are getting better and better all the time.

Whoops...looks like I responded to Barb instead of Tao. Sorry!

I must say, I just read the last 100 posts here and had the time of my life knowing the outcome of the ccsi debacle in advance. Is Nick Asensio, Will anybody ever come out with the FACTS? tune in tomorrow when you will here Nick say" FACTS.....FACTS.....FACTS..... I just want the FACTS.....

I am really sorry I didn't get here yesterday to join the short feeding frenzy. Looks like CCSI might be good trading for the next few days. Nothing like a little volatility to wake things up.

I'm going over to the CCSI thread to get the FACTS.... now and will undoubtedly have an amusing evening.

Thank you all for the great laughs...

Later,
Richard
