Thanks Coug.. I have much experience with trading, and understand your shyness from the e-trades of this world, but I've found similar problems with big phone in brokers in the past - on peak days, the phones being consistently busy, or just not answering. I reached the point of exasperation with e-trade a couple of weeks ago, loosing $1000 due to a late trade - which they said was due to the trading of that particular stock..... Anyway, I've switched internet provider now, which has had a huge impact on my connection, and will give it a little while longer, to see if things have got better. The convienience of on-line trading is what keeps me going, but I do agree with you're points, and will search round for a local branch of a national broker. I'll have to hope E-trade gets in gear with the IPOs. Paul.
