This is sad.

10 minutes after the close, still can't log-on to Datek servers - they are still "busy".

This is ironic.

Just noticed that the index quotes on Datek's HOME PAGE are correct.

It's just the quotes on their orders page that are "stuck".

It's ironic that Datek is giving out correct quotes to prospective customers who wander by their home page, while they hand out bogus quotes to their customers.

And it's all silly-screwed.

Dirk, You may be able to get a fill on your rejected order if it was due one. Datek customer service told me that technical problems at Datek rejected NYSE non marketable orders near the close. My rejected sell order was not marketable, but time and sales showed it should have filled two minutes after the order entry. Datek made good on the fill, even though the bid/ask dropped a few minutes later.
