ecman,
E*Trade
I placed a premarket order with E*T for 9000 shares to add to a position at 7:30 AM this morning:
1. The procedure was simple.
2. Expect the order will be filled at the open.
3. Placed a limit order at the ask.
4. on screen alert will notify me when the order is filled.
Old Broker:
1. Answering machine informs me the office is closed until 8:30
2. 8:30 call: I am sorry, our brokers come in at 9:00
3. I can have him call you after the morning meeting.
4. 10:00 he finally calls.
5. What do you want more of that stock for?
6. Hold on I got a call!
7. Let me tell you what's on our recommended list.
8. Hold on a minute, I have another call.
9. Did you see Seinfeld last night?
10. One of my customers really likes MO, I think his cousin knows someone that works there.
11. Hang on, my phone keeps ringing.
12. What a pain in the neck that guy was, he argued about the $1000 commission on his 9000 share order. Can you believe it, he spends big bucks and bitches about my piece of the action. I hate this business, how are you doing?
13. Call me later when things slow down a little, it's really hectic here with three guys out sick, ya, sick, they're playing golf, ha, ha.
14. Thanks for calling and don't be a stranger, lets do some business.
