Weid, that is what the brokers were suppose to be doing. You I had accounts with Etrade, Ameritrade, BNY, and Vanguard. BNY and Vanguard were the only ones that I had to wait on the phone. I told BNY and Vanguard that Ameritrade and Etrade sales and buys went through within seconds. Both BNY and Vanguard told me that with penny stocks, you must CALL TO MAKE SURE SHARES ARE AVAILABLE FOR SALE. Etrade, Ameritrade and others are NOW being watched carefully so now you must call. However, I always HAD TO CALL with BNY and Vanguard. I do not use anyone else anymore.
