I'm also a little peeved by WH. I had my Roth transfered from a mutual fund company to my WH account. The money left the fund last Thurs and did not show up at WH until Sat. morning. I guess the money was in cyberlimbo for about 10 days. I really think WebBroken is not the only thing that needs to be improved. Waterhouses' reputation has been tarnished with poor service for a while and they need to worry about service instead of more clients. Just my .02 Tom

<<A nice Hammer Candle pattern was formed last Friday.>> Saw that, too. Nice. OT I've heard lots of complaints about Waterhouse. Have you considered NDB? While it is perhaps not the very best discount brokerage, I've had great luck with NDB so far. 95% of my trades are executed within 10-30 seconds (using their touch-tone system, the web interface is slower). I monitor charts in real time, so I know the bid/ask at the time my order is placed, and it's rare that I'm not filled within the spread. I have never been unable to get through to NDB, even during fast markets. One great feature about NDB is you can trade in and out of a stock multiple times in one day and only pay a single round-trip commission. During the infamous hoax episode, I traded in and out of PAIR four times (8 transactions), and my total commissions for all trades was $40.70, including SEC fees. You might consider them if you get too frustrated with Waterhouse. --Doug
