Great posts everyone, this is a good start. So far it looks like JB Oxford is winning. :) Etrade has had a tough week this week, today was the THIRD day in a row their customer service line was busy in the morning for over an hour. Even their special line for active traders was busy. However, to Etrades credit they have been good about filling order quickly this week. The only problem I had was I shorted THDO at 7 1/8 yesterday, and didn't think it went through so I canceled it. THDO was at 6 1/2 at the time, and two hours later I got a message saying I shorted 2000 shares at 7 1/8. This was OK with me because I covered the short at 6 3/8 that day but the fact that the order wasn't canceled bothered my a bit. It would have bothered me more if I had lost money on the trade :) Actually, the two times Etrade has screwed up my orders this week I have made money so from that standpoint I can't complain. Does anyone out there use DLJ? I wonder if they get any good IPO's and how many shares customers get...
