Hi Greg, nothing like having an trade go unexecuted because the clearing firm is holding for their piece.... That statement caught my attention. I do some large trades, sometimes with options, and have noticed that even though my limit was above the ask when buying, the trade did not execute for a long time. Broker (Fidelity) could not give me a straight answer as to why that would happen. Any suggestions for broker that handle stock and option executions quickly? Piyush

Thanks for the comments. That probably holds my transfer for the moment. You don't believe that AmericanExpress can compensate with customers' high balance. As to <<i'd tend to go where you can get the best executions. nothing like having an trade go unexecuted because the clearing firm is holding for their piece....>> you mean even limit orders will be executed. BTW, sell-off is worse than Jan.; more than 40% off peak of 194. Seriously injured. Hope My Retirement Vehicle is not falling off cliff.
