Joanna, Alex brown sucks is putting it mildely. NET means the price you want to get so telling them to sell at 60 1/2 NET means they can sell at 80, give you 60 1/2 and they keep the rest. But if you had mentioned to them anything about a stop loss or if it goes below 60 1/2 etc then I would suggest you call and talk to a supervisor. They are supposed to be a full service broker and the least they can do for their exorbent fees is to make you under stand the differences between all the orders, thats what a full service broker is for. Why the hell would you pay them 200 bucks for an order when brown charges you 5 bucks? 60 1/4 is the lowest price the stock traded for last week, Its not only a low blow but its stupid. You also got to understand, Alex brown is big in the IPO business and they deal with Stock options from employees mostly and screw them over royaly. Most employees are not going to look back 5 bucks a share when its sold for like $250/share. And even if they did they most would not uderstand.
