OK, friends! We can all relax and dissolve this thread. I just watched the Wall Street Journal Report on CBS, and the reporter, Carol Masser, interviewed a spokeswoman from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The spokeswoman assured all of us that the problems we complain about most often occur because WE are too stupid to understand how the system works.

Didn't get a timely trade? Well, dummie, it's your fault!

Get a confirmation online that proved to be not accurate? Man, are you stupid-- you should understand that you need VERBAL confirmation from a broker!

Can't get online? Well, if you weren't such an ignoramous, you'd know that no system is perfect, so quit bitching!

Now that we've all been set straight by an agency of the US Government, we can shut down this thread! Good to have known all you stupid people out there, and I hope you get smarter in the future!
