Monty: OT Here is hoping we are on the sidelines during a big sell off or in a position short you feel comfortable with. ETrade had internet trading service interruptions and busy phone lines. If I was in real trouble I was stuck... As I said in an earlier post...after the close I was on hold for over two hours until I could talk to someone. Then he tried to tell me I had a good fill, yeah right. I placed a limit-buy that I cancelled, with no confirmation until after the close (thirty minutes after the cancel) that it was filled. Since the new web site came online, I have been having problems with slow fills from ETrade. (One market buy took thirty minutes and I had to call and bitch to find out it was filled.) Of course, I qualify for the platinum service upgrade thingy, but since the middle of December 98, ETrade gets very little of my business. In addition, I can not tell you how many potential trades of late with ETrade, took so long waiting on the new web site to reply, load etc., that the price ran through my window of opportunity before I could execute the order. When in doubt I use Fidelity over the phone. Regards, LG
