Eric, Have you contacted the SEC about this outrageous and illegal behavior by your brokerage firm??? They should be debarred from the brokerage industry if they are doing what you described!!! IMO, you definitely have a solid case for regular and punitive damages if that is the case...

I've been telling my friends, I trade with Fidelity and knock on wood, never have problems. Active traders get $14.95 per trade, Limit orders with a live broker are $20.00. Everything is updated by 4:00a.m. and access is tremendous, dependable and predictable. I also use the F.O.X. software and it is tremendous. Realtime quotes and indices, premarket prices, etc... I can go on and on. NYSE trades often get "price improvements", where I get the buy price at the bid!!! I don't know how they do it but every time I get the order confirmation with one, I shake my head!!! I used e*Trade before for all trades, but the reliability and lack of trust drove me crazy! Executions I couldn't trust, open orders sitting for minutes as the price rose or fell. I know what your feeling. My monthly statements are organized. In one instance, I called to get an explanation on a new policy that went into effect, I was actually wrong but they gave me a $200 credit for not informing me with a more obvious letter. Wouldn't give it up for anything. sz
