I have been with Schwab for 20 years and have on occasion been sent two or three confirmations on a purchase. it wasn't until I got into the pennies that this has happened. Also, they don't allow purchases over 999,999 at one time. When I want to buy 2,000,000 shares, I have to do it in three trades. I guess they want that extra $4.95 commission. Oh well, the problems we must bear! LOL
