Exclamation

Help need advice on a major stock deal.


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey

I bought stock on sharebuilder.com and they listed it for 0.0007. I purchased 10,000 shares for a total of $7.00 plus $9.95. The problem is that the actual price of the stock was $9.00 and now my trade account is negative 90 grand. My question to you is if the stock is still showing at the price I purchased it. Do I owe that money or do they have to honor the price I paid.

What did Sharebuilder.com say when you asked them?

It all depends on the account agreement with sharebuilder and the actual terms of your order. If it was an open market order, then you got the best price available for a block of 10,000 shares. Unless you have $90K in your checking account and can wire it over immediately, I suggest calling ING immediately and see what can be done.

Don't be surprised if your account is permanently suspended.

I called and they said it was an error in their system and they are trying to fix the problem.
The screen where i look at the stocks still says that it is .0007 a shair and that i have 7 dollars worth. When I bought it it was a total of 7 dollars and the order processed for that not 90,000 only until the order went through did it show that amount. I don't understand how a glitch in their system is my fault.

I would think you were ok because of the glitch in their systems, however expect that 10K block of shares that you only paid $7 for to probably be reversed.
