I used Scottsdale securities. All of my trades went through, though the reporting of the trades took as much as 4 hours in some cases. All of the trades were executed very close to the current prices at the times except for coms. I tried to get in at 38. Last time I'll place a limit order like that... Baird was terrible. I tried to cover my yhoo short at 36 when the market opened. They filled the order tonight at 6:30 pm and said it went through at 40 1/2 - it's now in dispute. I hate the &@#$&# market makers. They are so overpaid. I got real lucky with my xcit short. I covered at 19 for a nice gain from 28 originally. However, I sent the order twice so I also bought for 18 1/2 and then resold today at 26. I feel like I'm playing monopoly. One more dip and then a recovery... Jim
