interactive.wsj.com From Grieder's Secrets of the Temple(excellent book) to Mr. GreenSpan's transparency the markets NOW move the economy, the economy is no longer the engine that moves markets. And who moves the markets now-a-days?... DAYTRADERS!! Scary... The ultimate power lies in the hands of the "Daytrading 2000!" Now if the SEC and The National Association of Security Dealers would honor a Central Order Book and quit trading "around" Datek customers... Datek could RULE the world.... <Gulp!!> But first, Datek needs to get their "Server House" in order. They have gotten bogged down in their quest of "Power to the People" by recruiting too many people. How is Datek going to run an economy when they can NOT even control their own servers and programs? Seminal treatise Power to the People by Josh Levine and Peter Stern and addendum... How to Control the Population Growth. Other interpretations possible??<g>, n

Jon, there are still instructions on getting your history into Quicken at datek.com. I was able, after probably 40-50 tries at various times, to finally get it to work with the two accounts I have at Datek. It seems that whenever that part of the system is down, it returns an error that says the username or password is incorrect. That apparently isn't the problem though, as I learned to enter the information the correct way after calling them, and it would still return the same error time after time. I guess it is the luck of the draw as to when you hit it, and it works. Note that I was unable to download 1998 again, after going to another computer and installing Quicken there, in order to demonstrate it to someone. Apparently, at least for me, the Datek account knew what I had already downloaded, and proceeded to download 1999 trade data only. GO FIGURE.... Len
