Kansas, and others who were in on the Datek Debacle! I guess I started the discussion with my post on Datek pulling the shares, and I think I was the one who first got 20 shares instead of 10. That came about because I asked to speak to a supervisor, and kept pushing her buttons. I had suggested that an amount of free trades equal to our loss would be in order. I also suggested that Datek could buy shares on the open market, and credit them to our accts. She said that was illegal. I mentioned that I figured the SEC would be interested in this, and she said to do whatever I felt necessary. I believe we should pursue this furthur, especially with the SEC. Datek was requiring us to hold the shares for 90 days, and that was my intent. I think they should put 100 shares back into our accts now, or at the end of 90 days, pay us the difference in what 100 GS closes at, minus $5300! I'm sure that there are many folks in the 500 that had to juggle their accts around in order to have the $5300 cash in their accts. No margin, so had to be cash. Some would have closed out positions that they would not have closed otherwise. When I talked to the supervisor, she said that GS had also denied a total of 129 brokerages who thought they were getting shares! I do know of another person who had shares taken back by Wit Capital.
