SUSIE924... I have never heard of a firm taking 6 weeks to figure out an erroneous trade. In professional arenas, trade problems are usually sorted out the next day and sometimes within a week (at the longest). I am guessing what happened to you was something the accountants caught and NOT the back office that handles trade problems. In any case, it is a good thing you didnt go out and spend that money as you clearly realized it was an error. HOWEVER, I do feel that your broker should compensate you with a bunch of free trades or something for the inconvenience and incompetence (just my opinion though). Thanks for the post, -- Gene
