MBT's letter links to pcstartups free software. One of the programs is Trade Tracker 99. Is anyone using this? Will it load account info directly into Quicken? If not, is there a way to do that? Thanks, Bob EDIT OK. Went back to their site and see that it will update Quicken. Great.

funk you seem to be on the inside of this stuff...can you explain what is going on when this stuff happens? Since MB and X are connected in the same fashion to TNT and SW...perhaps you can help.

(104 ) From: +shoot1st Saturday, Jan 2 1999 10:02PM ET Reply # of 125 Steven.....something stinks.......and I'm about to sniff it out. How many $100's do you think they pick up in a month? It took me 1/2 dozen attempts to get a margin description to read. They would never tell me where to find it. One lame bullshit excuse after the next. Then this scanshift guy comes along and somebody gives him the site via PM and he posts it. If I would have ever pulled this crap when I held a Ser 7 I would have been thrown out of the business. Think about this..... SouthWest site says Margin calls are E-MAILED to you when one occurs...ever get one? I never have. I asked George why not, and I still don't have clue as to what he answered. He might as well been asked about the date and time he smoked but didn't inhale....... SW says that if you don't cover margin you are out of biz...this is not a good thing for X is it? I think X wants the margin calls for the $100 and that is why I could not get from them a margin tutorial. They have waited to the last minute to tell me when I have a call.......so there is no choice but to use "the overnight bank".....the bank Putnum knows nothing about......Hmmmmmmmm. Once or twice they faxed me a paper for a signature to use "the bank'...other times they don't even mention the need for a signature. Let's do a little calculation........borrow $1,000 for 12 hours and pay $100. Is that not 10% simple/annum? but it is 1/2 of 1/365ths of a year. The apr is a lightyear vs a light bulb. And I don't remember the "service" being offered or disclosed when I signed the papers. Wonder what they will think of next......perhaps.......daily loans for buying power...now that's an interesting concept........depending upon who gets the loans.... Shoot
