Sweet mother of unholy market blowouts..

[Grieve]

When APPL was down near $200 (down around 20%), I put in a market buy order in eTrade. Should have gone through straight away (market order)...instead it sat there...and sat there...and sat there. When it finally went through, I paid $244 - very frustrating. I guess I should learn to call a broker instead of using the web.
