How has E been for shorts ?* Not bad. Not as good as Datek, but there were one or two times they had shares that Datek didn't. Someone mentioned they are a little heavy handed in their approvals for option trading... sounded a little juvenile True, they wouldn't approve my account for spreads, only purchases. Nor would they tell me just how much I'd need to have in the account to get approval. Seems that most firms have one particular area they are good in True, I no longer have an hope of finding one firm that does it all well. No discounter anyway. CL
