I used AIB and they did not do my purchase until about half way through the day. I paid over 30 cents a share more because they did not purchase the share for me at the start to the trading day.
I went into the AIB bank first thing in the morning and asked that the shares would be purchased. They said it would be done right away and that they would get them at the start of the day. In the evening when I phoned back they told me that they purchased them at 4 local time. That must have been three of four hours after the NYSE opened.
They charged me almost 100 euro. Is this the common price (was I ripped off) and is this a common practice of AIB (not getting the shares as soon as possible)? Thanks for any help.
This is only the second time I bought shares so I really do not know much. Also, are there any online courses that one could take to learn about buying and selling shares, options, and leaps?
