Ed. Let me know how it works. I guess ATHM is down on an article from a guy who likes to bash stocks. In case you have ATHM as a stock. They seem to have had technical problems of getting the service out. Some users were without service for as much as a cpl of weeks. But growing pains used to be with AOL in the beginning also. Good luck on your hook up. I am looking forward for my ATHM to go up. Sonny

Thread, Did the brokers cheat me? I picked the exact high to sell AOL at this morning--at a limit of 153. But this time my sale did not go through. Fidelity told me the day's high was 153 which was a bid but not an ask and that the stock evidently did not trade at 153 long enough for my order to go through as limit orders do not take precedence over market orders. Does this make sense? Do I have any recourse? I don't know if I am entirely clear in my mind why the stock traded at 153 but yet I didnt sell it. Can any one offer some clarification/advice? I thank you in advance. jhg
