>>you may want to consider a on line broker with no charge for multiple executions. Same day, same stock= 1 commission. << Wont help me all that much, I rarely day trade, usually make a buy or sell to pay for lunch. And a lot of brokers have had problems today. QDek's crash and burn started cause none of the day traders could get buy orders in and once the fall starts no one wants to catch a falling knife. The same way why seek or etel goes UP and then DOWN, kind of hard to break the momentum on the up or the down with so much volume. It was the same way with vvus today although the volume was not like any of the others but it still had problems. Maybe the MM's were not expecting it, considering that some of my brave orders above the current ask did not get filled and had to later on cancel it. And at the time the stock was running way ahead of any news. Easy to always look back and say shoulda wouda coulda but at the time its hard. Wonder just how many people even bought at 10 when I saw the large bids come in and then the cnbc news hit. Ofcourse I could not cancel the sell order I had placed either at 9 15/16. :), But I now know what its like to get run over in stocks like SEEK, ETEL etc.. Dont want to do it too often, with my heart condition even viagra wont help if it keeps 'up'.
