Stock Puppy, I FINALLY sold my OLEX today...but it was painful! I placed my call to Ameritrade--have to negotiate a menu. Then I am told it is a four minute wait. The bid at this point was .75 and dropping fast. The wait was more like six. I placed my order-I have to give my account number and name, then tell them which stock I am trading and how much. They take the order. Time from placing the call is twelve minutes, and the bid is now 1/2.

It THEN took over ten minutes to execute...I got out at 5/16, and I count myself lucky. But combined with my experience in buying another stock today (DMEC, took A-trade over an hour to execute), it's plain to me that Ameritrade has got to be the WORST way to buy and sell OTC:BB stocks. Even a full service broker would not have cost me as much as I lost today using A-Trade.

Good thing I don't need this money to eat with.
