Don't mind me...just stopping by to vent. Waterhouse site was down this afternoon (again) so I diligently followed the instructions to place my order with a live representative. When I called I was informed that my purchase was trading on the "pink sheets" and so I'd have to pay the full commission since they do not trade "pink sheet" stocks electronically...WHAT A BUNCH OF BS. As I informed the person most of my trades, of late, have been "pink sheet" stocks...his reply.. hmmm, they must've slipped through somehow. Yeah, right!! Because I'm dealing with a penny stock...$12 is a reasonable commission to pay..but $45 is NUTS. Thanks to this garbage I will probably miss my entry point in the morning...THAT IS IF THEIR ILLUSTRIOUS SYSTEM IS BACK UP. There..I feel better...but I still feel "screwed." T.R.
