It happened to me too this morning.Had an order to short DELL at 60 1/8 and it took 1 1/2 hour to get a report back after calling four times.This is a joke!! I am really getting sick of this.

Are you trading using FOX, the web site or touch tone?

Also are you Spartan? Gold Circle?

I have several accounts and can't say I have found a truly excellent outfit yet. Spartan is OK on everything except spreads. I never know where those orders are either.

Shorting is also tough since they have to earmark the stock to short. Sometimes this takes a while longer than I would like it to.
