You know, when I had the $ on the way home from Ameritrade(in the mail), I actually told my wife, oh maybe I'll just give it back to them since we now have a PC at home, maybe it'll work like those commercials say. I asked her what she thought, she said you've been complaining so much about them and what about the 1000 shares they bought when you ordered 100, I said okay, you're right.

I like the commercials but facts speak for themselves, if others are happy and haven't had a lot of errors, good for you but I just had to throw in the towel on Ameritrade.

Also if you set on any cash, I was getting 3% with Ameritrade & 4.7% with the other guy(no need to name them again, I may not like them someday<g>).

Anyone who uses a Market order on a volatile stock is like picking
a fight with a gorilla, you ask for problems man...always use a
reasonable limit if not a fixed one. gil
