Lamar.... I am not a Waterhouse customer but I seriously sympathise with you. I had a similar expierience with datek, their server was down and when I went to place my limit order on a falling stock I quickly had to replace the order because the stock had fallen so fast. I finally called datek and resolved the problem through selling the stock over the phone. I was finally elated to have the whole expierience over with right? WRONG! About a week later The stock mysteriously reappeared in my account AGAIN.....Now furious I quickly sold the stock yet AGAIN....at around $4. Problemo solved right? WRONG yet AGAIN! The stock left my account and YET AGAIN about a week later showed up in my account a second time as a SHORT position this time! Now ranting and raving, furious beyond belief.... I called up datek and was quickly reassured that all would be well by the end of the day which nothing could be farther from the truth because I was given this constant, condecending, crapola, "duh" sort of atitude from every datek employee from here to the yellow brick road! I explained to them that I simply sold the stock over the phone and it reappeared in my account the next day where I again sold it and yet another week later it reappeared in my account as though I was shorting it. But yet I coulden't short the stock because the stock was unmarginable at only $4 yet datek let me do it anyway. Since then I have changed to MBTrading and have had no such problems since then. I wish the best of luck to you...let me know how you do...you are NOT alone! best regards- F~
