Well, in all due respect, I will say the site worked fine for me today, though I only checked in 3 or 4 times. In fact, a curious thing, I put a limit order in for a stock at 24-1/2, and it got filled at 24-7/16.

Still doesn't change my mind though. boink me once, shame on you. Boink me twice shame on me. I can't handle more shame.

Baldy, I'm likely to still maintain some holdings here, and just wire money else where. I will do like you, and try them simultaneously.

"(I use Datek, Dreyfus and Waterhouse for my trades now) "

BMFM,

How would you rate the 4 firms, Ameritrade, Datek, Dreyfus and Waterhouse? Which is fastest, most reliable?

I have a DATEK account now, but I am looking for a place to put some IRA money. I like Datek, but want to be able to do options (covered calls), so Datek's out.

(I also have an Etrade account, but may end up closing that one)

----

P.S. You need an account at a daytrading firm like MBTrading if you want to play with the Internet dudes, IMO.
