Mike: Thanks for the info! I am with ETrade now, and they list that they take stop orders, but whenever I try to do one, they won't take it. When I called and asked why, they say that the "market is so volatile now" that the exchanges wont accept them. With the experiences I have had with E Trade, I'm not sure that this isn't just another way of saying that "We don't want to deal with it... If it IS true, then how can the other brokers do it (live or otherwise)? Has this happened to you - or anyone else? Thanks! BP
