I have a good one. The day before thanks giving, I placed an order at 3:57. The order was never confirmed or canceled on the web site. When I called, the lady said that she didn't know but would call back. She left me a voice mail message later that night, saying it was canceled. I logged on the next trading day morning, and lookie here, the order was filled. So nice of them to perform accurate trades. Then I can't trade them because the site times out everytime I try to place the order. I got lucky, the stock went from '18-27 and I got out at 24 on the way down. BUT This only further cenemts MY OPINION that AMTD is incapiable of being a professional company. Just like Internet mania is making a bunch of dumb traders like myself rich, the new rush to Internet trading will make them some money in the short term, but a year out? Well, let's just see where their market cap is.
