Yeah, E-Trade can be real bastards. They by far pissed me off as well. I got them to give me six free trades for what they did. I am going to use those up to hopefully make up what they cost me and switch all my funds to Web Street or to Ameritrade who I have been extremely happy with lately.

sorry to say Matt but, You think think information that you're withholding til you owe shares is gonna have an effect on the price from people reading this board - maybe you should try a real broker to fill your orders...... I use AG Edwards and you know, for the all the hype about commissions, etc., sometimes it's better to pay an extra 1/8 to be sure your order's gettin filled: a) at the BEST possible price - unless you're using limits on E-Trade, you're not getting the best price for YOU. And even then, a limit is no guarantee the order will get filled at all..... b) executed by a real person who you can talk to about any problems that arise!!! BTW, can a 16 yr. old have a trading account at E-Trade...do I smell a hypster in our ranks???? Dave!

Matt, No sweat on info. We have so much momentum now, that we don't even need to know what you found. Sorry to hear that EGRP was unable to satisfy another customer. Yeah, the password thing is sort of cool. I am sorry for offending you on the "hacker buddy" remark. That was careless of me. I realize a hacker breaks security, whereas someone that is merely clever, like yourself, uses info that is behind the scenes, yet totally public to investigate the intent of a company. These talents are valuable, for sure. . .and your input and research is very much appreciated. Hope you get your shares soon. If they owe you a fill, you could still get shares at your price at open. . .I don't know the circumstances, but there are many here that would be happy to help you out. Lots of trading experience represented on these boards. Anyway, again. . .it is good to have you here. Rande Is
