Don't use DLJdirect. Impossible to log on and use this morning. I will never do business with them again.

This particular trade went through Schwab. I was able to input the order with no problem, but I watched it sit there for 25 minutes. I called my 'Schwab 500 team', they said due to volume, the orders were being executed but not reported back as quickly as usual. I don't buy the 'executed' in a timely manner as the Intel order closed at a price pretty close to when I got the confirmation. It's up quite a bit from where I bought it, so I'm not too peeved, but still not happy about it.
