Tell DLJ they own 4,000 shares of a great company.

The same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago with DFNL. I ended up getting burned on that one. My lesson is not to place market orders when a stock is running like that. I suspect you may have to eat that one. I was able to buy this morning GMTID with a market order only because I acted so quickly. I got the email and immediately went to DLJ. The spread was reasonable (I think it was 1/32 b/t bid and ask) so I just put a market order in. I think I got lucky on that though and I doubt I'll do it with a market order again. Sorry about your trevails but good luck in resolving them

Same problem with Waterhouse, placed a large market order when stock was under 2 and got filled at 2 5/8 & 3. I placed it by phone at 10:01. They could not get a confirmation for maybe 20 minutes and it was back down to 2. They say it was a good trade, and it was my order that moved the market so it was legit. They also say they are looking into it. Dan O.

Gary, I tried to place my order even before that, finally got through and placed it at exactly 10:00, and was filled 15 minutes later. Likewise, my sell order was screwed up, too. I called to complain and now my buy and sell are both shown as cancelled. I should have made some good money today, but I got shafted again. I have screen captures which say "your order has been placed", showing a time stamp. Since a lot of people with different brokers got screwed, I think the MMs are responsible. Trading wasn't that heavy - they sat on the market orders intentionally. I will be contacting the NASD if I'm not happy with what my broker tells me.
