I work for the Big Orange . . . sorry to hear that man. I could not access SB either and let them hear it. SB as I am sure you are aware was bought by ING DIRECT in November of last year. Still its own company who consolidates up through us and have some kinks to still work out. Very frustrating though when you lose out on real money.
Luckily, I mainly use Ameritrade. Which I think is great. Others I believe use Scottrade which is cheaper by a few bucks.
Again sorry to hear it.

Thanks guys, I know this question has been asked before, I am just too annoyed with this whole deal to dig through to find it.
Apparently any transfer from ING/Sharebuilder will take 4-6 weeks, so it looks like I will just use two brokers until I sell what I have in ING. There is no way in hell that I am potentially not going to have control over my holdings for 4-6 weeks in this market.

I sent an email to ING/Sharebuilder telling them that they basically suck and they replied with something along the lines of every other trading platform was not working Friday either.
And today was no different from Friday. I literally spent hours trying to execute trades today and got exactly ZERO in. When I could get into my account it would take 15 minutes to pull up what I wanted and when I would hit submit the order would either time out or the limit I set would be well under where the stock was then trading. My friends were quite entertained by me today though, watching me throw my hands up in disgust and hearing me string together profanities that they had never even thought of.
So to recap FVCK ING/SHAREBUILDER
