You meant the coming Monday? I'm holding AMZN over night you know?

I hope so. Got some off before the close at 70 7/8, but the main reason to report this is to give the devil his due - Schwab has the clunkiest, slowest, most irritating web trading site in the world, and it can sometimes take a full minute for your order to wind its way thru their system and appear on MASH - after the customer has wasted minutes getting into the system and finally pressing the button to send the order on its way. But they often achieve excellent fills - meaning they don't play games with your order - and they often have available the difficult to borrow shares. MBT's RT system is a dream, but it doesn't do you much good if the shares aren't available to borrow at their clearing firm.

Steve Goodman made this same point in his interesting post here a couple days ago.
