Are the brokers using the most ethical manner to find those orders? Certainly doesn't look like it. I guess you don't think the brokerages need to abide by the same standards as the companies they trade. I hardly see anything wrong with registering a complaint and I doubt they are laughing near as hard as several are at you.
Is my stock broker limited to buying and selling on a stock exchange?
"In addition to the various stock exchanges, there is a decentralized market of securities not listed on any exchange. This is called the over the counter (OTC) market and participants trade over the telephone, facsimile or electronic network instead of on the trading floor of an exchange. Your broker can buy and sell stocks that are listed on the OTC market as well as on the stock market."
If your broker is using telephone or facsimile you should find another broker who is in the 21th century and can afford a computer.......If you can afford one he should be able to....if not do you really trust him as a broker? I must be spoiled by using a preimun brokerage firm with on-line ordering.
