So good you had to post it twice!

My buddy got hosed yesterday by Waterhouse and never saw his orders come back. They filled them today, but of course the stock is lower than his buy at this time.

Seems all the discount brokers have their own problems. At least Waterhouse has good customer service that I've found. Got a real good guy in my local office (if I can get through to him).

Man I wish I had a margin account and could play NETG for a buck or two 30 times a day! What a roller coaster. Builds character. <G>
I think it's gonna take off if the market co-operates

Wish I swapped my EMC for NTBK yesterday, just didn't like selling at these levels. Holding at least...

My experience with stops is as follows: I had a small gain in ONSL last night and thought that I would hold it overnight and better yet, put a stop on it. Well, it gapped down so far, so fast that it never triggered the sale and I now have a 5 point loss. Now I don't feel so badly about the losses on USWB, GBIX, AWEB, BRCM & BVSN. I think I would faint if I traded a stock correctly. Enough complaints. And so much for stop losses.
