ETrade Bug
Note the nice bug in eTrade's tranfer money "feature". Apparently the system skipped straight from February 28th to March 29th... the calendar popup shown below does not allow a user to select a date before 03/29/06. The image below also shows the current date as March 1st in the upper right-hand corner, but clicking the Transfer button with that date in the Date text box doesn't work. You can't get past the errant "Please enter a valid date" dialog box to actually make a transfer. Talk about user hostile... all I wanted to do was fund an IRA account. This nasty bug needs to be fixed pronto! The lesson here? When dealing with dates MAKE SURE TO DEAL WITH FEBRUARY properly! :-)
BTW... if you are viewing this entry from the main page in a browser you'll need to click this link to see the full image.

Thants Nothing! They checked my application after I was already trading, locked me out of my account, said my balance was zero,and sent me an email saying "Fund your account now", although it was already funded! Try calling and getting ahold of someone there. Maybe my luck was not good but I have NEVER succeeded in talking to anyone there. This is 100% true story no exaggeration, and I am still locked out and unable to get ahold of my money. Please tell me where else I can tell my story. Thanks, Robert
