Thanks Peter...I did ask him about any new upcoming PR and the future of Vipr in my previous email. Also sent him an email last night asking him to enlighten me on what kind of problems they are having with the DTC issue. I seriously doubt I will be hearing from him again....but at least we now know someone is alive and reading their emails. And by the way ...I did find out that Scottrade does their own in house clearing. If I hear anything from them I will let you know. Thanks again.
