OT re: discount brokers Galsal & tunica, Saw your discussion on discount brokers. I love Datek. I have recently gotten free trade because the execution took longer than 60 seconds --and the execution prices were good. A well-funded friend of mine has many large accounts with Merrill, so even with the "special treatment" he is supposed to get, when we place similar trades at the same times--we often do--we usually get amazingly similar executions. I would highly recommend Datek as another choice, $9.99 trades. The trick is to bookmark their servers so you can get right on. Good luck--there's nothing worse than a bad broker! Jeanne

What do they charge per trade? Schwab only charges me $20 due to my Arthur Andersen affiliation. That is the only reason I'm there. I do trade with Datek some and use their ticker which works 98%, or more, of the time. An SI friend told me she is with AB Watley and loves them. I have looked at their site and was impressed with what I saw. They charge 19.95 trade and also have Level II. It is free if you made over 50 trades a month, fee if you don't. Difficult decision and research is time consuming. Before I do anything I may go to SourceTrade.com in Dallas to get Level II training so I can decide if Level II would be beneficial.
