Been trying to place a trade for the last 10 min. and will next try telemaster and then give up. Well, it is 7:30 AM.... What are their new trading hours, 6:30-7:30?... Really miss the Classic page. Even with the active trader benefits [that are usually more trouble than they are worth], the simplicity and speed of the old site was replaced with a buggy & bloated disaster of "New Coke" proportions... UPDATE: Got the trade in at 8:00 and it worked slow, but OK

Just to be fair in my reporting - Discoverbrokerage is DOWN today have to CALL in orders and waiting time is 1 hour. I got my orders in at Etrade executed fast today, once I got logged in. - that took time. They all have problems (online brokerages) and it is aggravating when you are losing or gaining money. Time is money. Good luck, Jacalyn

I am in E Trade but can not get any screen to come up all the way! Would like to make a trade but by the time I get in the market will be closed. Very aggravating too say the least. Well, now I got as far as putting the order in but got a server down message after hitting the return key on the screen after the preview. So is the order in or not? Yep someday we'll all take turns trading this way. Changed my dial up phone number, got in, the order was placed. I have to believe this was an ISP problem and NOT E trade's fault. We nail E trade enough without blaming them for this.<g>. jim
