Etrade sucks! I placed an order to sell some of my APM @23 this morning before open because I thought we would have another big down day. After I saw APM recovered back to 22 1/2, I went to Etrade on-line to cancel my order but just couldn't get in. After that I called the etrade and hope to get a broker on the line. I'm still on hold after more than 50 minutes (I'm still listening to etrade's music while I'm typing this post). I know they must have got my shares already since APM is 26 now. I'll demand my APM shares back from Etrade after I got through.

TO ALL.... I say we ALL post for proof that ETARDE and others can NOT service their customers as they promote in their commericals.....

It's 11:23 am OCT 28, 1997 and I have been trying to connect with ETRADE by phone and internet since the market open and have NOT come close yet.....

Tony

You can access ESchwab if you dial direct with their software but not thru the net.

I too was totally frustrated with E*trade today. Couldn't log on their server for hours. When I did get in, it showed I had not excecuted orders that had in fact been executed hours ago. It was shooting in the dark.

So, are there any "real" online services, and not toy services available? I would switch in a heartbeat if one existed.
