Luckily I put my bid in at the bid price. Took about 3 hours, but it was filled. Actually if you put in a market order and get filled right away, who cares about .005 cents when SPG goes to a much, much higher SP. In the long run, I don't think that the money you save when you try to buy at your bid price does not make a dfference in the long run. There is not too much of a range in the shares of SPQ, so trying to buy at the BID can be very frustrating ...GLTAL jimmied
