drake - quit griping - i suspect that the MOTHER OF ALL DOOM TOURNAMENTS is finally down to the CTO vs the CEO - full processing bandwidth has been allocated to the final deathmatch when they're done playing maybe they'll let us trade

I have appearently more problems in selling stocks than buying stocks. Had 28 order "trials" so far, which led to 6 orders and 3 executions. The one buy I had was accepted and done immediately. Even cancellations are tedious...I have to change orders when the MMs and others trade around me. Now I'm stuck as I want to get off a thinly traded stock which is up more than 18% from my buying point yesterday buy I can't. IS.

SFD, FCGI once more. Noticing the interest in it I got into it at a good price. Sure it inched up from 9 1/4 to 11 in no time. All for sudden, besides ISLD applet bombed my netscape, datek didn't accept orders. Only the orders2 server worked and I could enter a fire sale which actually returned the best bid as execution. Slippage was only some 3/8 from the best bid when I began trying to sell, thank god. Now come that even during the day the daket servers are so loaded. It would be better had I more time to concentrate on dealing than on technical failures. IS.
