Archie:
I'm happy with ABTX at 9 1/4, but I would have been a whole lot happier at 7 1/4. It was just a screw up from the beginning. I didn't have the reserves at my discount broker, so I traded through my old standby, ML -- You know, the broker that charges an arm and a leg because they execute faster than anybody. Well, the trade left my broker's desktop at 9:56 AM, and was executed at 1:38 PM. Now I know it was a zoo out there, but 4 hours? Are you kidding me? Thing is, Merrill called me today after I made a stink, and my trade along with a whole bunch more are going to be challenged. I'm not holding my breath on that score, but with a little luck, something may come of it.
Regards,
