Basically, I'm honest with myself at least insomuch as I know that I have an addictive personality with some things...and yeah, I don't *actually* have a huge issue with the time delays --- it *does* irritate me, though, on the technological side of the argument.

Scottrade: uhg!
I have accounts with Etrade/Scott/TDA -- mostly this was to keep funds absolutely separate & to prevent accidents from happening and biting me hard down the line.
I opened the scott trade for my last Sirius buy -- the resultant shares were intended to play with.
I cannot begin to express how angry I was that that ONE buy cost me several hundred dollars!
I'm yet pissed about it, frankly. BUT - I can tell you this...I'll not buy any more stocks with the Scott acct, unless I absolutely have to...and, there will be only one sell order that goes through with them.
