Theo's Poolside Discussion of Trading Delights and Disasters (BYOB)

[Wayne R]

I bet every time something went wonky at MyTrack, somebody said "Oh hell, what's Wayne done THIS time?"

Heh heh. One time, and it wasn't funny, I bought some Naz stock because it was spinning off some subsidiary. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Xdate passes and the original stock disappears and I ain't got nothin except a margin deficit and can't trade shit.

So I call mytrack who says I have to talk to the penis people. So I say, OK I'll wait (who the fuck are the penis people?)

So I get one of the penis people on the phone and they say I need to talk to a penis supervisor. Sure, OK, I'll hold, it's a 800 number and I got nothing better to do.

I stayed on hold, with a secretary checking in on me about every 15-20 minutes to verify that I was still waiting FOR 5 HOURS.

Eventually, the supervisor picks up the fucking phone and says he sees the problem and will correct my account so I can trade before the reorg of that particular stock is finalized.

But I did learn something during the 5 hour wait. They weren't penis people, they were P and S people. They were dickheads just the same........
