Mark, people do have the right to complain and post freely, but I happen to agree with you 100%. Vote with your dollars. I think you hit the nail on the head that Datek is the "lesser of the online evils". I generally have no problems except within around 15 minutes of market open. As far as streamer goes, I like it a lot, but it does "go to sleep" quite often now, usually for minutes at a time. Do you see this also? Gary

You keep sucking and I'll keep complaining. Datek employees do read this thread, so theoretically it is not a complete waste of time. However, being familiar with the "Datek attitude" it probably is.

"If you are not satisfied with the service, GO ELSEWHERE. If you are not satisfied with the service but still think Datek is the lesser of the online evils, then quit moaning and suck it up" Hmm, I think I'll continue to post my observations of Datek on this thread, and will continue to use them where they are competent. I'd also like Datek to know that there would be considerably more dollars in my account if they could execute an order at the open. I do not subscribe to the mentality that thinks only cheerleaders can post on a thread, or use a service. I do post compliments to Datek when warranted. Barb
