Well, thread!!! I thought I was gone, but a situation which could be me or the broker caused me to come back...

My question to you guys (and reply to Charles) is this:
Hi, Charles!
I'm the person who sold the stocks too early. Maybe it's me, but I suspect it's the broker. Maybe if you can explain this to me, it would help very much.
Hers's the situation: I asked over the phone to sell at 60.5. They asked if it's NET to me? I said yes. Now what does "NET to me mean?" (They sold at 61-1/4!) I really don't understand whether it was something I didn't understand or whether they screwed up the sell order.
If it's me, well, it's a learning experience for me! But if it's them, what course do I have to deal with this? I really was planning to sell next year, so my taxes wouldn't be affect 'til next year!!!
Thanks a lot!
Joanna
If someone can please explain what "NET to me" means in plain English, I would know whether or not they screwed up or not. I have been uneasy about this sell order since it has happened (not just because NETA has shot up since, the taxes, etc., but also because I could have sworn I put in the order at 60-1/2!!!)
I put in the sell order as a protective wall, hoping that it would NOT go below that.
As mentioned, if this is my mistake, it was an expensive one for me. But if it's them, I would like to know what course I have to deal with this one.
Thanks a lot guys!!!
Cheers,
