NEWN I had a buy in at ask and they never filled me freaking share. It was there for 7 minutes till close.


Well it's often that my orders don't get filled on the OTCBB despite that I'm buying at the ask or selling into the bid. That's the time when I call the broker and go nuts. Every single time he explains to me that the mm's are not obligated to give me any shares if they just don't want to on the OTCBB.

I then ask him what else should I do instead of buying at the ask or selling at the bid. Gimme a fu.... break. The good thing is that there are certain guys on support at IB who really care about customers and they directly call night or however is at the ask/bid at the moment and after they called I mostly get my fills pretty fast. I was told that it could also be that sometimes a certain market maker just isn't paying attention at the given moment. Funny.

I'm just glad when all of our stocks move to a national exchange. They slowly do anyway and the rest will hopefully follow in 2010.
