Completely off topic, but I am astounded: McGwire was just robbed of his 66th! Replay shows it was outta there, but ump ruled it a ground-rule double. Would you want to be that ump? Wade

OT Jim Willie, about my broken trade: I just checked what resources are available over the net and found that stock traded at the price I was supposed to have sold at, at the time my trade was executed. I called Datek and told them this. They spent about a half hour looking into it and ended up asking me to sell the stock at market and they would credit my account the difference. So it had a happy ending for me and I was impressed by this "deep discounter" for their service (not for their mistake). BTW I looked up the SEC rules and any brokerage can claim a broken trade if the trade reported was "clearly" a mistake. In my case there was absolutely nothing "clear" about it being a mistake, so perhaps that was all Datek had to know.
