         On monday morning before the market opened i put

in a buy order for xxxx rubicon shares at .66.

   Today i recieved a contract note saying i had bought 56 shares

at a cost of 36.95 + 23 dollars brokerage. The other xxxx thousand

shares were still outstanding.

               As you can imagine this is not a satisfactory outcome,

do i have to buy these 56 shares? it looks like i have missed out

on the rest at .66 as the price is now .70 even if filled would i have to pay

brokerage again?  

         Seems unfair to me as i put in for an order of xxxx thousand shares

so why should i opay for 56?  if i hassle my broker do you think

they would cancel it?
