(RIVERWOODS, ILL., September 24, 2003) – A.B. Watley, Inc., a leader in electronic securities trading, has made it easier for its customers to choose tax-efficient trading strategies and slash the time it takes to complete their Schedule Ds by using GainsKeeper, an automated service from CCH INCORPORATED (CCH), a leading provider of securities information and software.
