Off topic: << I had to waste 30 minutes of my time arguing my point, but they filled me at $1.29. (specifically stating that this wasn't routine and not to ever expect this kind of treatment again....standard disclaimer to cover the supervisor's butt). >> The question is: Could they still buy you those shares in the market near the price in question?? If the stock had run away on you (meaning thousands of dollars were at stake) I doubt they would have buckled! The probably just did to keep a customer "happy"... ? As far as Investorline goes: you have to call them to put in stop losses or change/cancel trades. The biggest problem with this is that if you have a stop loss in, you can't put in a sell online on that stock! You have to call up and cancel the stop loss first! Chad

Hi Rob : this is really nice that you get your fill because they made mistake ... but sorry the second , or third part of your post is a bit incomplete ... ***But it shows that if you feel you've been ripped off by lousy service you should complain to a supervisor I've also got an Etrade account...with them you can't short, and you can't place orders on stop.*** first there is no a way in hell to get a supervisor on Etrade on phone -- doesn't matter if you want to give him a hell or to give him a kiss --- all what you get is a promiss "that supervisor is going to call you back" for that one don't stay on one spot you could grove roots first till get phone the second with the etrade you can't do nothing beside chit-chat to get the order from you to the floor takes anything between 5 min and eternity ... to change your existing order about the same , to switch from one page to the other one 2 min avarage ( have ADSL and 350 Mz with 190 Mb RAM ) which means it shoud be faster than i can say "amen" well .. i will not keep you for all day here 8-)) just my 2 cents good luck ... tlb
