Brokerage survey I lost $25,000 today because I couldn't place a sell order with my broker (Citibank). I tried to place the order on line but the site locked up or gave a message that "I can't do that" I called the broker on a land line, actually two phones and let them ring on speaker phone. It took over 45 minuets for me to get to a broker and by that time the stock price fell from my original stop limit order of $15 to $9.45. I placed a sell order and got out at $10. This wouldn't be so bad if it was a few shares but I had 5,000 shares. I am changing my broker to Webstreet. My son uses them and get fast accurate execution all day today. They even picked up the phone in a few minutes. Webstreet could of saved me thousands.
