If the fed changes margin requirements for internet stocks as David Faber suggested (apparently some brokerage houses are in the process of doing so) then these things are going to get clobbered. I hope he's wrong.

>Thanks for the suggestion, WebStreet said "we are a discount broker" >that was there excuse for not proving it. >Unbelievable, but I guess you get what you pay for. I have had one dispute with Fidelity on an options trade and they called right to the floor, waded through the paper and fixed it. In this case, I had cancelled one trade and placed another when I got the confirm. The first order miraculously filled the next day! I called them and they got the paper from CBOE, noticed I had a nothing done and then a fill (the next day at 10am) after the cancel of the previous day. They reversed the trade right away. Fidelity also got me filled on my sale of EGGS this morning before the bell. Costs a little more than webstreet, but I can't believe they don't have the systems to provide the data they are asking for.
