ETRADE SUCKS

I have been trying to short for a week now. Although they saved me some money on a trade last week I would have covered when it was down at the open yesterday. Today my meager 150 shares I want to sell short won't go through. -------> E-Trade GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!!

This is pathetic. I should go back to Schwab!

Don, tried Fidelity an hour or so ago. Can't get the shares, but suggested may be possible later in the day (looking for 500). Now though, I'm a bit concerned about the buy-in risk with it so difficult to borrow. What if some of the margined longs who have loaned shares start taking profits on the next squeeze? Have you had any such problems?

Bob

PS: Fidelity's Spartan service sounds good. Bye bye E*Trade.
