Gents:

Just adding my two cents in here, but as I understand it, your broker has to almost shop the deal for the client (seller or buyer), and just because you have an order in does not always mean that it will find a counter offer to take it. Heard this numerous times since they were issued, "that the most recent sale was below / above the amount that I was asking but was filled elsewhere". Guess its just the nature of an illiquid market (ie OTC).

Any idea on what the commision was? My online broker does not even allow me to do this trade on the web but assume that a call would allow it to happen. I don't know what the cost would be, ergo I am interested in what they dinged you for.
