Thank you for clearing that up. I had not made the connection that trades were not yet being made. I have to agree that this type of service takes time to set up. In fact, when all this first started I was VERY suprised to hear they were already taking applications. I did not follow the initial history of E*TRADE, livetrade, or any of the others so I am not an authority on what they went through to get the web sites and services up and running. I DO know, however, that such a service goes through several levels of testing not only internally but also on the markets directly before being allowed to go 'live'. I will be interested to hear what the scheduled time is for going live or if there is one yet. Obviously specifics may be hard right now, but I imagine it should happen in the near future.

why would PRWT be advertising [IT] if it wasn't real. Well since you asked, let me point out that these ads to date are not very expensive. Speaking hypothetically here, and by no means am I suggesting that this is what PRWT is doing, if I was pumping a scam, the initial advertising costs are the least of the expenses, as opposed to development and deployment costs for an online trading company, not to mention capital requirements. So if I were trying to do that, then I guess I would place a few ads where people buying the stock would be most likely to see it. Just a suggestion. I suppose that there are other possibilities as well.
