To All:

1. Is there any information on when Datek will start offering option trading?

2. Is there any information on when Datek will offer check writing?

Best wishes,

I2

The volume of trades crossing on ISLD is huge, and refunding commissions on slow trades is just a small part of their cost of doing business.

Thanks for your comment. Just to clarify, you believe that Datek makes no money when on our orders except the $9.95 commission?

How about Island?
How much money do they make on our orders?
This is especially interesting since Datek & Island are owned by the same people.
