@fred495 I'm wondering if you tried to work around the "problem"? Like sell half the shares. Maybe they thought a scam was going on & rejected the order.
Time spent on the phone is a PROBLEM!!

@hank Patience grasshopper. When I opened a Schwab checking account I called Chuck as I thought the checks should have arrived in that (?) many days also. Now I have two check orders sitting in my file cabinet. I'm still working on the first order.

@Old_Joe I worked on a Nuclear power plant many years ago. I was on the hanger crew for a short time & later worked during two refueling. I do recall talk of removal of a hanger that went around outlet of "steam generator"? Cost to install $1,0…
If I called Chuck & said I was going to move A medium 6 figure account else where , do you think he would forget the fees? Probably not.

@msf It's hard to believe there would be that much difference between Sunday night & Monday morning!! Last night VG showed 3 or 4 bank cd's. Seems I forgot to mention what I was looking at: 18 month non callable. That has remained.

@Old_Joe & @msf I came across Zero coupon CDs last night at Schwab, while checking rates. First thing that crossed my mind was this a new type of CDs or something that I just passed over? Wikipedia filled in the info.
Thanks for filling in…
I can only think of ONE person that fits this : Knowing when we are wrong and having a process in place to act on our mistakes. I wonder if any individual investor is very good at this.
