hah. thats all? not a big headache compared to what I have been recently going thru with ameritrade.. Now, here is the new one- youll love this! Since internet stocks are so volatile, and the volume is just so incredible, Ameritrade cannot guarantee fills in a timely fashion and reserve this right. period.. this is what I was told when I called to complain about bad fills.. Here is whats happening: I put in an order to sell 200 shares of NSCP at 10:05.. 10:30 comes around, no report.. well, foolish me thinks the order is all set and filled at 10:05 but no report. WRONG.. order was filled at 10:35, and since it was a market order I was off by about 1/2 point.. their response? tough poop.. Folks, ameritrade is in for some serious head spinning. This is a problem on their end, and they better fix it quick because I for one am composing a few letters this afternoon thanks to the money they just cost me.. Why the hell did I stay with these clowns? they cant handle.. plain and simple..
