I was trying to load off my RIMM position pre-martket. Prices went all the wa y up to 124.40 pre-market but I could not do a thing. Scottrade screwed everybody, and I am sick of their stuff. This little incident with RIMM cost almost 7 points, as the stock sold off after the market opened.
The Elite platform, the Total view is the worst. There has to be a better broker out there. Any opinion?
