Anyone interested..

Well..that tears it...I'm dumping this moranic service!!! I posted about a week ago about trying to trade a "penny" stock while the system was down. I received some good suggestions etc from other posters on this thread..however...now I just had a discussion with their representative about one of the stocks that had not panned out for me. First off there was a name change three days ago..it still does not show up on my account, instead I have a blank area where the symbol should be, the name of the company and no dollar value. The end result..I CAN'T ELECTONICALLY trade the stock!

The person who took my call today informed me (again) they do not trade "pink sheet" stocks. When I informed him I do it all the time he said "well you're not suppose to." The bottomline is I ended paying 4x the commission and will lose even more $$$ because of the stock dropping while I'm trying to make the trade. Granted, the stock may have dropped anyway..BUT..to take more than three days to get the symbol changed does not make sense.

No need to reply..just sharing another irritating situation through
Waterhouse. I am now off to find another broker.

Good luck,

T.R.
