It took me nearly ten minutes to get thru to Brown&Co, the stock drifted from 26 to 23. I sold at 23 1/4. It is horrible when u have to use a discount broker in a fast market.

Didn't really have much of a problem. We got off 50,000 shares. Wish we sold more. But you can still sell the May 20 options. That may help a bit. Best regards, Mark A. Peterson

That's interesting. The same thing happened to me via Datek. I put a sell in WAAAYYY below the market price which, at the time, was about 25 3/4, and it just sat there. Tried chasing it down to 23-24 range...still sat there. Odd. I blasted it out around 21 and managed to pull in a hefty profit, but it should have been much heftier. I was unaware that sellers of any kind could "lock the market". Scrumpy
