wing_walker, thanks for posting the phase one brokerages. After reading some of the brokerage web sites it becomes apparent that speed and connectivity are important and accepted mainstays of all the companies. I doubt if any would tolerate connectivity problems or any other technical glitches from a new financial software provider. : )) Spooz needs to get everything right/correct from the get go which they're apparently striving to do (during this time before the launch). milo3
