>>AT: SH**!!! ('Scuse the language again!!!) I don't have a recording of my sell order, but I remember being very confused about what they meant by NET to me and I did said something to the effect of "if it hits 60.5, sell it!" They kept throwing the "net" line...three times in fact! Finally I said yes and they went on...<<

Yep, I knew it, when I had to deal with them they did the same thing. I thought it was a very high pressure tactic to use on people who had no idea what the hell they were talking about.

And I mean THEY should have the recording not you. Call and talk to a supervisor and they can play it back. Or call their complaince dept and talk to someone there.

But you know what? No matter what I would call and raise hell, even send a letter to the locla BBB and their pres etc, email is so easy these days :>

Like I said, the majority of these business is from IPO's and stock options, And when your option price is a buck and your stocks trading for 240 bucks, you aint gona make a big fuzz if it was 230 bucks or 250 bucks.

>>I did said something to the effect of "if it hits 60.5, sell it!"<<

This is strange.. I mean they had the quote right there and should have seen that the current price was higher than what you were saying. So if they did not try to tell you this, then they were setting you up. IE they wanted to get rid of you as someone who did not know what you were talking about and make the commision. Take them to arbitration at the least.

Ask Steve, maybe he could help. They are very good and I opened an account with them.
