Would you believe that it took them 54 minutes to execute my buy order for 200 shares of CCO at a max price of $1.56 when the asked was shown as $1.53. The trade executed at $1.30 on the Boston Exchange at 15:04:51. It's the only trade for CCO on the Boston Exchange so far today. In the meantime, the over the counter market seems to be where the action is (what little action there is). 10,800 shares have traded with a last trade at $1.30 at 15:08:00. The current bid and asked for COCBF is $1.22 to $1.32. I'm not sure what this proves. The Schwab commission was the usual $29.95 for Internet trades so the commission amounted to 11.5%. This means that the cost of a small trade like this would be 23% for a round trip at Schwab. Now that sucks.
