Craig: I've had accts. with a number of e-brokers, and I have one with NDB. Their trading software does not correctly calculated buying power intraday, and thus often indicates a house or fed call after the close. I have confirmed this with a rep from NDB. Amazing, but true. In the information age NDB expects me to do my own cash and margin calculations? I was also told they're correcting this soon, but it is appalling. As you can see, I'm no apologist for NDB, but they're no better or worse than any of the others. I also think NDB's execution time is better than most. Plenty of room for improvement by them all.

Sorry ,Craig--I myself am a dinosaur and I still use a telephone to trade---but the big advantage of a personal broker is execution time---regards margin,I actually frustrate my broker because I refuse to use it--except on rare occassions,on a quick moving bullish day and I may go into margin for a few hours---but the other problem you address about the interview--read an article on Worsley,saw his picture--it should go well--I took 6points profit with 1/2 of my position-- and go into the open with another 6 points in hand--and frankly I just don't how I am going to play this--the interview matter has changed the game.Good Luck,Max90
