Congratulations. You must be the only guy. The story on the AU according to my friendly voice at Etrade after 40 minutes of elevator music and them telling me evry 2 minutes how valuable I was to them, was that there was a bid on it about 9:30 this morning but no others all day. I had put in a market order and will have to reenter it tomorrow. I was trying to do some kennel cleaning for tax purposes. Ended up selling everything with a loss since April is going to be painful. Unfortunately that was a long list of things. I'll try the AU tomorrow again. Turns out a limit order will stay on the books but a market order is only good for the day with options. Bought some puts on NVLS in early December when it was 57 and still holding them. I use Etrade and Fidelity. Etrade is cheaper and has a more user friendly website, but their records are pretty poor, especially when a stock splits. You end with 33 different sets of numbers with them. Fidelity is more expensive and the website more cumbersome, but they stay on top of the account and seem to handle trades more adroitly. Thats a one data point survey if you care.
