    Worst slippage I have ever had was 50+ points on EMLX hoax.

    I also had 30+ points on CMRC.

    Worst slippage in term of points I have ever seen was QCOM. 101 points in 24 minutes no uptick all market orders placed before the open were executed 100 points below the open. Down from 741 to 640 in 24 minutes. OUCH! I had to go 20+ points out of market and hit ISLD at 720 to get out RIGHT AT THE OPEN.

  9. in june 2000 ( ? )

    I went short 100 shares RMBS afterhours

    my broker could not execute a buy for me

    and I did not have a backup broker

    as I watched RMBS rally for about 30 minutes

    and $30 .... thank god it was only 100 shares

    and I made back the loss in a week

    funny thing is my buy to get out of my short

    was close to the all time top tick in RMBS

    :eek:
