Rick,
Please provide a "POSSIBLE" explanation. I must not be "completely informed of all the nuances and dynamics of order processing." There must be some rule I haven't "seeked out" as to why Schwab doesn't have to post profits back to my margin account on the settlement date.

The facts: sold 1000 shares of stock on market opening last Friday. Stock disappeared from my posted positions over the week-end. As of 7 days later the proceeds have still not been credited back to my margin balance. Schwab still hasen't responed to my e-mails. Waiting for their real person to start answering the phone this morning so I can pay him $5.00 for the privilege of talking to him. Remember with a e-Schwab account, you can only talk to a real person 13 hours a day. The rest of time you must use e-mail. Local branch can't help.

By the way, I am using the e-mail located within their trading area of their web page under contact e-Schwab. All my e-mails to other people have been received without difficultly.

How can Schwab justify charging a premium price for a on-line service when they have so many restrictions?

Interested in your thoughts, Cisco.
