Anyone know when Datek will allow options trading? How about a checking account, when will they have that up and running? HiTech

Christian, it is true that in and of itself the call back is not reason enough to dump Datek. My primary reason is the distinct inability to trade before 10 AM when it's important. I was trying to sell some CIEN the other day when it opened over 16, and was not executed until it was well into the 15s. There have just been a number of problems that have come up this week. I believe I'm going to give MBT a try next. I have missed enough early morning trades with Datek to consider the extra cost inconsequential. Barb
