Online Broker Site Having Difficulties

Fri., July 9, 1999

From Staff

For online investors, Suretrade Inc. has been a little unsure this week. Computer problems have plagued the company’s Web site since Monday, forcing many customers to trade stocks the old-fashioned way by calling a broker.

Suretrade, a division of Quick & Reilly/Fleet Securities Inc., upgraded its computer system over the weekend to expand capacity, but software glitches have shut out many investors.

Suretrade typically processes almost 98 percent of its 13,000 daily trades over the Internet.
