Yes, NYSE trades have definitely become a problem at DATEK. I don't know what's going on there, but there have been some definite changes. Had a lot of problems trying to buy an NYSE stock this week and I went round and round with them on why my order was never filled even though I had placed my order ABOVE the going price Above the ASK). If I had not had a separate quote server with time and sales plus another broker where I had gotten the stock at 1 point less, I probably never would have gotten the stock . Tack this on to the problems with shorts being more difficlut to obtain , no options , and I'm going to have to search for a reason to stay here. BTW, anyone else receive a letter re: buy-in on SRCM ? thought this was quite interesting since I had already covered that short on 9/18... but now I am supposed to take care of this immediately ?
