The order was placed at 12:00 on 8/31. After a twenty minute delay it would be filled - at the earliest - at 12:20. According to the intraday quote values for the stock, it traded at right at or around 4.61 for the entire hour. So I don't see the problem. The only time the stock traded at 4.50 was just after the open, which would have been two hours prior to the placing of the order.

Please provide the order number (from the order queue process) for me to investigate. |

The order is #89, that was placed at 8:38 AM EST yesterday, not on 8/31, looking at the 1 day chart with 5 minute increments I can see that although the stock in question was actually trading at 4.50 market there was an immediate spike up through 4.60, so perhaps I placed the order here at EI just a split second too late to catch the few trades that happened near the 4.50 level, no biggie  |

Would you fire your broker for this? Or would that never happen?  |

Fire my broker? c'mon now, I bought at 2.42 and sold at 2.74 but only got 2.57, so I lost $170 on the trade, I'm not peee a zissed, but da hericane Katrina victims might be cause I was gonna donate 50% of my Ebucks from the transaction to da relief efforts, not that they need it, most of those fokes who was holed up in da superdome is gonna be millionaires when all is said and done, just like da families of the world trade center victims became wealthy as a result of the outpouring of good will, unless da govmint messes things up agin and they somehow doesn't get da windfall, no biggie, us taxpayers will take care of it latta oooooooooon  |

Were you holding CAFE or CAFEW?
The symbols changed to CAFE.PK and CAFEW.PK
Since they have .'s in them now I can't change them to the new symbols.
I believe I'm going to need TS's help on this one. |

CAFE and CAFEW still trading under the same symbols, I guess the .pk is added by Yhoo quotes, either of thses 2 can still surprise to the upside believe it or not, hopefully the adjustments will be made by the simulator, otherwise it's back to having a problem as far as the game goes  at least Mr TS is seeing these problems before any serious competitions begin, I think you could make $$$ with this site if more market junkies discover it, may as well work out da bugs if possible |

It could be at the top I suppose though. Or maybe in a green box to highlight it better. Maybe it needs to be highlighted on the site better too.
Hmmm. |

| The cash balance doesnt reflect the amount of money I have to spend on stocks. Is there anyway I can find out the amount of money I still have left to spend after I've bought a couple of stocks? |

At the bottom of your portfolio there is the field:
eInvesting$
If you follow that line over to the Value field you will see how many e$ you have to spend. |
