Oh! - just a harmless accident?? <ggg> Had a limit order entered and accepted for display 30 minutes before market open this morning. All funds were in order - cash only EGRP buy. Watching real time quotes, after open, as price approached my limit - went to Open Order screen to check for fill - all gone... must have gotten filled? Went to check Daily Activity and WHAT??... Datek had arbitrarily, capriciously, and with no warning - canceled the order, 3 minutes before market open. Attempted BL____T FR__D - deliberate manipulation of client's account without authorization. Of course the Nasdaq, NASDR, and SEC condone and support this type of client order manipulation so there is not much use complaining to the foxes guarding the chicken house. If it weren't for Chris Byron, MSNBC contributor doing the SEC's job, all we would ever hear is Arthur Levitt running at the mouth telling us of the "dangers" of Internet investing.... in other words, the SEC and Nasdaq are the dog being wagged by all broker-dealers rubbing it in their face. IMO, nick
