Readen Holding Corp. (RHCO)

If that was in fact the brokers statement, I might consider looking for a new broker.
However, since RHCO is on the OTC Pink, a company can be Current, Limited Information (Yield) or No Information (Stop).
I recently bought a stock that was listed as (stop) because were delinquent in their SEC filings. About same time my broker would not accept a buy order on a stock with a (Stop) but it was considered Dark/Defunct! Maybe that has something to do with your friends broker. But, RHCO is only listed as a Limited Information (Yield) so that really should not have made a difference.
