Cayjam,

I don't know about E-trade, but most of the internet trading systems do have a facility to inform you where you sit within the queue, so maybe you need to follow that up with the technical guys at E-trade.
(I do agree with BobbyKennedy though, that you should be fully conversant with trading before you consider buying/selling any shares online or even through a broker).

With regard to following shares up, I suggest that each share is different, and in the case of RED there is likely to be a slow grind at around current prices and in my reckoning a gradual increase. But factors that are likely to impact RED share price in next weeks will be:
1. Price of gold;
2. Any announcements by RED re status of Mapawa drilling.

RED should have a Notice Of Meeting out in the next week to follow through with the proposed Placement arrangements announced last week, that are subject to Shareholder approval. Personally I am in favour of the Proposal as proposed (esp the pricing).
