[quote]does not compute....somethings plenty 'fishy' here.[/quote] I tried to buy @ the ask which was lower than the stated PPS. Raised my bid and got shut down by Ameritrade...says bid exceeds the ask by too great a margin would not execute the order. This is the strangest thing I have ever seen....might be lucky it wouldn't let me execute a buy who knows. It sounds like manipulation from somewhere was taking place. Any comments would be appreciated by this moron (me) I don't get it.
