Merrill Lynch: glitch fixed Friday March 10 08:54 AM ÿ Merrill Lynch and Co. Inc. (MER), the No. 1 U.S. brokerage, said on Friday it had fixed a technical glitch that paralyzed its electronic system used for processing stock and bond orders on Thursday. Merrill, which has 14,000-plus brokers, on Thursday upgraded the software that powers its Trusted Global Advisor electronic order system. The upgrade, meant to increase the system's power, overloaded its server and paralyzed some of the 150,000 trades that flow through it each day. Merrill will reimburse clients who lost money due to the system's failure, a spokesperson said. Reuters" Lost another 1/2 mil when MER-CRP went down the other day!!! Had a short of Proctor&Gamble all ready to go, and a giant AETH long order all loaded up and the (^*%&^%^%&&^%^ MER-CRP goes down!! DAMN I HATE IT WHEN IT DOES THAT!!!! Almost enough to get me to go back to ECRP!!!!! ÿ
