Richard, this is interesting that Investorline will accept stops by phone at the discount rate. I'll have to give that a try.

Interesting story. Scwab is paying back customers that got screwed on the opening day of Theglobe.com. People tried to cancel their market orders prior to open but Scwab was to slow and only processed 1200 of the 1500 orders. The IPO was $9 but the stock gapped open to $90, dropped to $63 by close and $32 within three days. At least they are taking some responsiblity for poor service.

Richard, I checked and Investorline does not accept Stop-loss orders at the discount commissions. Their response to my query is copied below:

Thank you for your further inquiry. Not knowing more about the situation
in question I cannot comment on it. It is not our normal practice to give
the discount online commission rate for stop-loss orders done over the
phone with one of our representatives.

Kind Regards,
Lindsay Abbey
