Appreciate the advice. Let me try and clarify the issue.
I want the remove two stocks from my portfolio with TD Ameritrade, VYON and SPNGQ. Both are on global lock down.
Because they are on global Lock down, TD Ameritrade can not move them and they are forced to keep those stocks active in my account until such time they can be traded.
This is from the representatives of TD Ameritrade who I call once every 3 months (of course never the same person) to see if anything has changed in the stock trading status.
As far as writing it off I would have to do what Teflon2Insults,(a tax expert - by formal education and 35 years experience) suggested below.
The amount of money involved is not worth the effort to go though all that, so they sit in my account until the government stops holding me hostage and I will be able to remove them from my portfolio.
