Could someone explain to me how, and under what circumstances, you could file a complaint with your broker regarding a bad execution? I have heard several people mention that they had done this, and even got the brokers to capitualte at times, how is this done? i.e. what do you say, and who do you speak to. Every time I speak to someone about what I consider to be a bad execution they just brush it over (I haven't really persued any claims because I am not sure how I could go about proving anything). Isn't it just a case of your opinion against them? What would be an example of a bad execution, and what "facts" would you need to make a case, and who would you make a case to?

Thanks all in advance.

PS: I use Schwab but will be leaving very soon for brown or MB.

PTVL appears to have some headroom yet, if internets are allowed to continue their run by the powers that be. Monday is a logical day for shorts to make their move, though.

As I stated Monday morning, PTVL is a strong internet travel company with marketing deals with the major internet players. It was one of the big IPOs of the spring and is a preferred vendor of some of the biggies.

I think it has another big pop in its future, but once more, be sure to take profits while they are there to take.

And when you see analysts running here and there yelling, "the sky is falling...the sky is falling," they are broadcasting the high that internets were afforded.

Never underestimate the power of the shorts, Luke.

Joe has given us some TREMENDOUS plays this week and deserves our thanks and admiration. But he likewise deserves our attention to his warnings.

We had our day and we hope we are given more, but we are NOT GUARANTEED days like these. Stay alert and stay objective.

RI:
Do you really think that internet shoppers aren't checking prices underneath the "cover page"? Maybe someone does not like the front of a Best Buy store, but they still go in if the prices are less expensive than the fancy department store next to it.

Try comparing the prices in NM's (CD's) E4L site ... it truly is savings at your fingertips compared to other shopping alternatives.

Your point about NYSE is an excellent one! Precisely why there is still an opportunity to get in w/ NM prior to a much greater share price appreciation. Same holds for CD. Old management problems are well-past, and both NM and CD will go.

That explanation of the NYSE is a bit over simplified. This is due to the fact that for each share bought, one must be sold.

Taken a face value, there would be no way a stock price could move higher. If Buys out number sells, for example 5 to 1, the stock price has to rise. They cannot refuse to allow the price to rise because buys do not equal the sells.............
