Jon, I guess all brokers are experiencing the same problems. Mine too. Who knows, if you hold on for one more day... you might get more lucky.

Jon, Not me. I have not been able to get to my cut rate brokers today. I have had no trouble with my full service geeks. MB

jon, ptdiscount. 4 rings and i was in touch with them all day. btw, the option exchanges didn't open gtw until about 10:15 to 10:30 est anyway.

huge rally in gtw. it will come down again.

if it doesn't before nov then it will after.

it will probably fall once they adjust the pe at yahoo as that is probably all the funddumbs use to "invest." ;-)

Jonathan, I have two online accounts (as well as two other accounts, and I'm only 25, a sign of mania of course): I've got one with E-Trade and one with Lombard-Discover Brokerage Direct. Lombard (now dbd) is considerably less evil, although I have to admit ETrade did let me short their stock through their service. You have to respect that. I've never tried any of the others.
