A question for you clowns... just closed the last bit of a short which ate my lunch, chewed my tail and savaged other of my body parts. about 60 points ago i placed a sell-stop on the whole position. waterhouse as is their strange custom, sent the order in for review. by the time they approved it, 3 minutes or so later, the price had leaped my stop. i expected an execution at market and waited 5 minutes or so checking for a fill; finally as the stock XTNDed its gains another 10 points and i realized the order was not going to fill i canceled it and decided to try and trade my way out of the hole...with miserable results. besides the obvious advice of using poots instead of shorts (ho ho ho look at those MER, MU, and CIEN poots way down there) and a better broker, do i have any standing to insist that my orig. stop order be reviewed and honored? trading from the far-east puts me at the disadvantage of not being able to pick up the phone and the turnaround on the e-mail from those hosers is about a week. any opinions... man this POS market is a full on catastrophe for our future.. ++
