Hi Chad,

I was "reimbursed" for a trade I did with Investorline a few
days ago. I put an order in to buy some V.MRY at $1.29 at
9:23 am. Even though MRY opened at $1.29 and declined to $1.27
in the first few minutes of trading I wasn't filled. The order
was sent to the floor at 9:32. By the time it reached the floor
MRY was $1.30 to $1.32. I had to waste 30 minutes of my time
arguing my point, but they filled me at $1.29. (specifically
stating that this wasn't routine and not to ever expect this
kind of treatment again....standard disclaimer to cover the
supervisor's butt). But it shows that if you feel you've been
ripped off by lousy service you should complain to a supervisor.

Side note: Investorline doesn't allow you to place stops online,
only through a trader over the phone. Also, I'm not sure if
you can change orders online with them...I never have.

I've also got an Etrade account...with them you can't short,
and you can't place orders on stop.

I've got the worst of two worlds.

Cheers,
Rob
