Another Schwab story: I put in a limit at 42 to sell HLIT. Then changed my mind when I saw that it was going up and cancelled the order. I waited 10 minutes thinking that surely the cancellation had gone in and placed an order to sell at 43.50. Well the first order got filled at 42, but I wasn't notified for 45 minutes. And so did the second at 43.50. So I sold 500 shares I didn't have. Turns out to be a good deal for me this time. I called them to find out why and got the same answer - it's the computers and someone else's fault but it's only happening with certain stocks today. It should be fixed tomorrow. Fat chance.
