Roger-ironically Discover's screw up on an execution made me money, since they never bought my E-bay yesterday. I covered this morning, but it took about 7 minutes even to get a trade confirmation. I had a problem with them on a ZAP order this summer where they verified a cancel, only to find out later I had made the trade. That time it costs me money. I don't think they're any better or worse than most of the E-brokers. The moral of the story is the individual investor is at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to taking advantage of this volatility.

FWIW I jjust reshorted AMZN @ 157 1/2 and expect a late day selloff in the internets.

Best,
Timoteo
