Hi Alberto,
Datek does have problems also. A couple of times this week the new java
site was down, but I could access the old site to place a trade.
Sometimes the quotes are off. Example I've been watching CA and
sometimes the quote will get mixed up with another stock. The other day
it said ask 3 bid 45. It took about 5 min to clear up. But strange
things do happen.
