Ed, why suggest malfeasance and not file a complaint?

  We had our representative on the NYSE floor go and speak with the
  specialist - he hid behind "order imbalance" - floor rules.  We were
  asked if we wanted to file a complaint - we decided no.  There will be
  many more battles like this.  What is does do is make us look at
  alternatives.  Like I mentioned in an earlier post - Island and other
  ECN's would have given us a fill around 32.50.  So we are exploring =
our
  execution options.  Our CANSLIM philosophy is broken down into three
  simple parts: Analysis, Money Management and Execution.  This time, =
the
  3rd element, execution, was the weakest link.  So , instead of
  complaining about it, we are doing what American's do best, head to =
the
  competition with a better product.

  I got caught in this so-called CVH inbalanced. luckily i had a limit
  order
  in place. although limit orders don't work sometimes- because they =
don't
  have to execute limit orders, although they are within the price =
window.
  of
  course. there were too many eyes on CVH. i was curious what kind of
  remedy
  is there for this specialist's malfeasance, especially for buyers @
  34.50
  and above- more than 10 minutes after placing their market orders. =
