Sad story.. Due to major screw ups, I lost 10 points today on AMZN.. Full service broker sucks... Short at 107 1/2 boxed at 10 1/2.. Could handle that. Decided to throw in the towl and went long planning to get out completely before day over... Figured I filled at about 112... Get my report back, an incredible 117.. Yes I am long at 117. But didnt figure that out till I went to sell the long at 14 1/2 on the way down.. When I learned of my fill I was in shock. Argued, didnt know what to do.. By then it was 109. I sat on my hands...... Figured what the hell I will stay long into the close what do I have to lose? Can always file bankruptcy....

Thank the lord.... I will sell my longs tomorrow by 10 am.. Yahoo last quote per cnbc 202 1/2.. AMZN is gonna fly tomorrow on their tailcoats.. Same problems exist, small float, plenty of shorts...

Good luck all.. After tomorrow I turn this computer off and look for a job.. Maybe I get real lucky and it trades up 30 points... Dare to dream.. Rantings of a bankrupt man with a quadruple rum and coke..

Dont try to daytrade with FUll service.. Executions worst I have ever seen.. Since when does it take 8 minutes to get a fill???
