Received my January statement today. Insert enclosed discussing how and why executions may suck, personnel may be unavailable on the phone, access to account will be delayed and/or denied, confirmations of orders placed will not be timely, etc. Funny, in every single case, the reason is OTHER than DATEK's fault. Surprised?? Hardly...

In a related development, they will no longer (also explained in this insert) honor their free commission policy when market conditions and volatility prevent them from doing the kind of job that they advertise , promise, and guarantee that they can do.

Did someone ask about ethics? You can't complain about Datek's ethics, cause, in the vernacular, THEY AIN'T GOT NONE!!
