Stock Puppy, I FINALLY sold my OLEX today...but it was painful! I placed my call to Ameritrade--have to negotiate a menu. Then I am told it is a four minute wait. The bid at this point was .75 and dropping fast. The wait was more like six. I placed my order-I have to give my account number and name, then tell them which stock I am trading and how much. They take the order. Time from placing the call is twelve minutes, and the bid is now 1/2. It THEN took over ten minutes to execute...I got out at 5/16, and I count myself lucky. But combined with my experience in buying another stock today (DMEC, took A-trade over an hour to execute), it's plain to me that Ameritrade has got to be the WORST way to buy and sell OTC:BB stocks. Even a full service broker would not have cost me as much as I lost today using A-Trade. Good thing I don't need this money to eat with.

How has everyone been? I hope your investments have went better in the past year and a half than they did with Burditt. I know mine have. I've tried to address a separate post to people that have still been active here at SI so it would show up in your inbox if you didn't have OIL-X bookmarked anymore. I have a little more info about Allen's new venture but it's mostly just stuff which is easy to find with a simple search. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll post more. Well I've just made 10 posts. If anyone didn't read them from the start here it is----- Message 14634483
