HRAKA - Nope! I guess I'll just have to live with my shares I got yesterday - 2000 at just under $8 (I think my avg is about $7 7/8). Good Luck! Moby.

I did something totally wacky with PRFM yesterday. I'm normally very careful during the trading day but I neglected to refresh my screen and I forgot I had already short sold my account to its max on PRFM at Schwab. I did another large sale as it was nudging 9. The sale went through even though I had no margin left whatsoever. Bang I got the margin call screen. This was near closing. So I luckily ended up with a 150% position! I would have imagined they would have cancelled the order. Now if it will just go down enough this AM so I don't have to trudge over to the local Schwab office to cough up today. Not nearly as clever as hitting the buy button twice when closing a short and inadvertently riding a surge back up but, hey I have my moments. Anyway, I am 100% (and more) in PRFM. If it tanks I can quite my day job. If it surges, I start packing my own lunch. Best, Jimmy Liberato
