i had an error with e-trade, where they gave me a stock i didn't want, where it DID go up. so, yes, i had 1 trade where i made money accidentally. they called *me* within 30 minutes of the 'execution' and told me, as well as the current status. i got out, of course.

however, their problems - which did NOT happen during last week, but 2 weeks ago, where their lack of confirmations gave me 6* my margin worth of stocks and options - cost me pennies comparatively, but was a healthy loss for the amount of money in the account at the time.

fortunately, i hadn't put more money in the e-trade account...
