Dell - I canceled my GTC order after reading your post (thank you by the way) I think it makes perfect sense and all of us here should cancel all sell orders immediately (other than the real ones that are likely to be filled today) Your argument makes sense and I hope everyone cancels all these "pie in the sky" sell orders that are helping the mms' manipulate our share price and subsequently hurting and damaging our price per share, while alsofending off new buyers who should be in this stock for the huge profit potential all of us longs see coming in the near future.
As for your other situation - I had a similar problem with TDAmer - one of their goofy screw-ups is that they took my funds - without my permission and transfered them into a "money market" "for a lousy 1% or something like that. then when I made a buy, they would make my buy on margin and then charge me for making a margin buy!?! slick pettifoggers they be...
So make sure your funds are just that, funds and totally liquid - that may solve you trading problem (i hope) it did mine.
Regards and thanks to all the longs for the solid and informative input
