Your actual portfolio value in our database is correct." Well, I am still waiting for the correct price to appear. I sold a portfolio of index-tracking ultra-short ETFs just before the close on Wednesday, September 17, 2008. All were up nicely. The "madness of crowds" leading to a rush into Treasury Bills that day was indication a bottom was near. So, I sold my ETFs at-the-market. However, my sell orders were not executed until 11:00 a.m. the next day. The disparity in proceeds I received was rather substantial. I had the same trade running in real-time and here are the differences: ETF UpDown Real-time MZZ $64.89 $66.47 QID $52.26 $54.22 SDD $70.83 $73.79 SDS $76.13 $78.09 TWM $73.10 $76.87 When you consider each of my UpDown positions was in the thousands of shares, the impact this delay had on my account balance was substantial. I am still waiting to hear from someone about this issue's resolution. I was told by Sherri Cheung that, “orders will appear at the price you entered.
