Brown & Co.'s online software is terrible when you want out of a falling
stock. If there is a partial fill and you check to see if the rest is
pending, it shows "no orders pending, even though they may still be trying
to fill your order. Then, if you institute an order to sell the rest, you
may end up selling the shares you own as well as more. This happened to me
the other day. I was trying to cover my short when Brown called to tell me
I was long. Several minutes later as the stock ran back up, he realized
that he was wrong and I really was short.
