I posted this in the last stock thread but since this thread was created.. i don't think anyone else visited the last one... anyhow...

I have a buyandhold account.

I did the shop for stocks. I went through the whole buying stocks process. It worked when I bought some stocks a couple of days ago. I put in an order last night for a certain stock and throughout the whole day, the trade date and trade window kept getting pushed back.

It was suppose to go through at 10:00am today, but then it was 12:30p, now its tomorrow at 10:00am. I wonder if there is a problem?

This happened for the last 2 days straight... not sure whats going on. It was up 40%, but back down 40% now. I could have banked some money in the short term, but since everything was screwed up, I couldn't do anything. Of course, its only a $0.05 stock

Unless there's a reward at the end of the tunnel, I'd never join these clubs. They're all traders behind the site using your info for their own gains. I don't have a problem giving info to fellow S2kers, but to some $100K a year investment banker cum day trader? I think not...

Just be aware that the "q" means they are in bankruptcy proceedings
