BradC, I'm amazed every time I read an article blaming the WebSite for a bad investment. The headline should have read "amateur investor loses big after placing a market order" I'm sure he sold with a market order too. One big change I would like to see (that would never happen) is the elimination of all market buy orders. We've all been there at one time or another and it hurts the pride and the pocketbook. Good luck, Doug

BradC, All these investor horror stories have on thing in common that is never mentioned, MARKET ORDER. The people who are trying to to buy or sell seem to have no clue as to what a limit order is. Would you shop for any other item that way? Instead of learning the tools of the trade, the risk associated in this arena, & taking personal responsibility. It appears it's much easier to foolishly throw your money around, cry about it to a reporter, & call an attorney...........hmmmmmm not a bad plan<LOL> JC
