RE: Datek Online/Internet Trading

I respectfully disagree about what our expectations should be.  I want and
demand Ferrari performance at a Hyndyai price (or preferrably free).  We as
traders take all the risk and create market liquidity.  Why should we pay
high (or any) transaction costs in addition to the spread.  Brokers add no
value to the markets via their role in transaction processing.  I want a
completely electronic market that eliminates brokers entirely and provides
excellent fills in seconds.  I believe we will see that pretty soon if
everyone speaks out.

Of course given the present situation Ron is right.  If you want excellent
service you have to pay more.

Best regards

Bill Wood
