That's news to me.
Believe it or not, I haven't memorized every SEC trading rule. So no, I'm not familiar with Rule 144.

And you did phrase it as if you were talking about one hundred forty-four shares.

you've obviously never tried to get the restriction removed on 144 shares.

Good luck with your lawsuits.

[jj pop]

I am trying to open a fidelity account using fidelity.co.uk,(the UK affilliate i suppose) since the parent company- Fidelity.com won't allow me open an account with them cos I don't reside in the US.(e-trade too won't give me an account cos of this). But everything i see on the site is IRA.

I was referred to fidelity.co.uk from Fidelity.com

Can anyone give me direction on this pls?
If you reside in the UK, let me know
-which broker you use esp for 0.0001 stocks

-Their website and how to open an account with them
thanks

$VYCO on alert, ready to run! http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/VYCO/profile

[Mr. Zen]

Since I couldn't move 36 million, I'm sure not surprised about your 144!


Ummm you do not get it, rule 144 is for accredited investors to buy shares directly from the company, that was not the number of shares... good god

good luck with your massive retail buys, I hope it works out for you goodbye

[3WhiteSoldiers]

You're talking different things here. In your last message you said no broker would "touch" penny stocks. Now you're saying no one will transfer 'em.

I've found that most brokers will allow trading them, although many won't touch chilled ones. Fidelity, Scottrade and Schwab all allowed me to buy shares of a chilled company. The company recently got that chill removed (nearly unheard of in the pinks!) and are now making good progress.

As I stated before, it's nearly impossible to transfer penny stocks - there's just too much risk and no reward for doing so. A brokerage would be doing all the work for nothing and assuming all the risk. You've already paid your commission to buy the shares through the current broker, so the broker accepting them gets nothing. Why would a new broker want to risk taking a stock that carries a lot of risk for no reward?

I have 36,000,000 shares of a single stock in Fidelity, and still couldn't find a broker to transfer them. I even called the transfer agent about it.
I thought the assets would look good on a company's balance sheet, but no brokers were interested.
Since I couldn't move 36 million, I'm sure not surprised about your 144!

The under $5.00 market will never be "toast!" How do you think a lot of companies get started?

I've been in the red for over 2 years with my shares, all the while bashers and even several investors were screaming SCAM (this company is the one with the fraudster previous-CEO I mentioned).
The company has been preparing to bring products to market for nearly 3 years, now it's finally about to start paying off.

I highly doubt your lawsuit (if it ever gets filed) goes anywhere, unless there's a lot more to it than you've stated here. Brokers have a right to accept or deny stock transfers, there's no law ordering them to do it. Same goes for Fidelity: They have the right to refuse customers who complain too much. Might not be good business practice, but they obviously don't care and they're not hurting for business.

[Mr. Zen]

Really? you've obviously never tried to get the restriction removed on 144 shares. Many brokers will refuse to take them or even hold them.

If real investors in companies ( not retail investors just buying shares on the open market) cannot sell their 144 shares then the entire under $5.00 market is toast.

It is coming within 6 months in my opinion, accredited investors are walking away and when they go then the small time retail investors are stuck.

[3WhiteSoldiers]

That's not true at all.

hardly anyone will touch pennies any more hence the impending collapse of the penny market and the rest of the market will surely follow.

Almost everyone will place penny trades, including Fidelity, Scottrade and Schwab.
I was with Scottrade and Schwab recently, still have shares in Schwab.

The penny market isn't going anywhere and I don't see the SEC doing anything about the fraud happening there.

The previous CEO of a company I own shares of posted fraudulent PRs and tweets for over a year with no repercussion whatsoever. That lying scumbag is still an executive in the company.
Two years ago as CEO he said "So basically, the way I see it, hold on to this stock and you will make at least 3-400% within 6 months...where else will you get that kind of return?"

During those 6 months, the price DROPPED from.0042 to .0011, a LOSS of 73%.


I opened an account with TD Ameritrade yesterday, went to my bank to wire funds and my account was funded in about two hours. I've called them a few times already and they've quickly answered the phones and been polite and helpful.
I tried to place a large trade online last night for Monday but it wouldn't go through.
I called and was told I'd have to talk to the large order dept. on Monday because my order was so high in comparison to what Friday's volume was for the company.

[Mr. Zen]

Fidelity is only interested in those people who will blindly hand over their money to one of their fund managers, that is how they make their money, complaints are tallied and once you meet a threshold of annoyance they say see ya later.

The penny market has been so overwrought with fraud that the SEC has set new safeguards in place and has put the burden on the brokerage houses, hardly anyone will touch pennies any more hence the impending collapse of the penny market and the rest of the market will surely follow.

Although interactive brokers is a tough to navigate and they have idle account fees you can trade in foreign currencies and foreign stocks, and hold money in foreign currencies which can be withdrawn in that currency throughout the world.

[3WhiteSoldiers]

After submitting many complaints to Fidelity about their crappy website and trading platform that don't fully support penny trading, I received a letter saying I was no longer allowed to trade there.

I may sell my existing shares but can't buy more. That's when I called around about moving them.
I didn't want to sell them and my shares are all long now. They're stuck there until I decide to sell or the company I invested in is bought.

Fidelity admitted in replies to my complaints that my complaints were valid, yet they refused to fix anything. And several times when I tried to add screenshots to the message I was sending via their online message system, I'd get this notice and couldn't submit them: "Error Attached file is suspected of being infected by a virus." They were just a simple .png screenshot!

They don't even offer free streaming quotes unless you meet their threshold for number of trades (120+ trades annually). Due to the MANY problems I'd reported, I was upgraded to Active Trader for free, and allowed to use that platform. I quickly discovered that it did not suit my needs, and cancelled it. It does not fully support penny stocks, just as the website fails to do. Neither the website or Active Trader platform support four decimal places, so if a stock is priced at .0025, you can only see .00. When I'd place a trade online, I'd get to the "verify your order" page which is the final step before submitting the trade, but since I could only see two decimal places there, my limit order price showed as .00. So there was no way to verify the numbers were correct before placing the trade!

Once I went to the Trading tab and was told I had no trading account. When I called, I was told that the message was due to the system doing its nightly updating (which you're never warned is occurring).

A few times I was buying a few million shares of stocks priced below .0002, so the trades only amounted to a few thousand dollars, but some traders said they had to put me on hold while they go get authorization for such a large order. Yes, it was a large number of shares, but the dollar amount was relatively small. So I'd ask for their supervisor, who of course would tell me the rep did NOT need authorization and should have placed the trade, so they would be talked to.

Instead of fixing a single thing, they finally closed my account, stating that they could not satisfy my needs. Fidelity clearly feels it's easier to terminate those who complain, rather than fix the problems.

FIDELITY JUST PLAIN SUCKS!

[Mr. Zen]

I had the same problem with both Fidelity and Scottrade, Fidelity would not let me buy any more penny stocks and Scottrade gave me 30 days to remove my positions or they were going to send my positions back to the transfer agent. I have had many conversations with FINRA ombudsman and I am preparing a law suit against both companies.
I managed to transfer to Interactive Brokers but had to prove my purchases by sending them previous statements and/or purchase closing reports.

You wonder why this country is going down hill, penny stocks can no longer grow up to be large companies, the SEC Zar will not allow it.

[3WhiteSoldiers]

I haven't found anyone that will transfer penny stocks, including Scottrade, Schwab and several of the biggest penny brokers I called.

I wanted to transfer my large holding out of Fidelity because they suck, but my shares are stuck there until I sell because no one will accept them as a transfer.

OptionsXpress says they will not accept penny stock transfers

$CRWG---The news from last week is putting this one on everyones radar

[AXEZEROED]

Don't use Etrade. It may have a flat rate, but thier service SUCKKKKKS. If you get stuck in a reverse split, you wont be able to trade for a month! Ameritrade they switch over your shares in two days.

Additionally, I made a mistake making the account with my social#. I did what i had to, faxed my ss card and ID. Three days later, they still haven't gotten the account fixed. I was calling them three times a day too!

Also, it takes three business days to transfer funds..

In comparison:

Ameritrade- Instant funds same day, instant everything. Fidelity- Same, instant funds the same day, was trading. No problems. And its less expensive!!!

It was such a hassle dealing with Etrade. Its just so damn slow and terrible execution. Don't bother! Same with my friend, had terrible issues trying to fund his account. He switched to ameritrade and was trading right away.

This is totally wrong, never paid any hidden fees.
All the fees are stated on the site.

[KitchenRat]

Be aware JUST2TRADE has a .003 PER SHARE fee added for stocks priced under $1.00

[HallaDurg]

NEVER USE SURETRADER

Funded account with $500 to try it out...

- 3.5% fee on deposit
-no shorting allowed on stocks under $1
-$2.50 equity per share rule limits any feasible short position
- Made a successful trade for $140 profit. I checked my account the next day and I had $480 in it. 500+140 = 480?
- I called customer service and they told me there is a $20 commission for the buy, $20 commission for the sell, and a $.001 hidden fee per share.

On a $500, 60,000 share trade I paid $160 in fees

Needless to say I have requested a full account withdrawal (less %3.5 again)

I am lucky to get out of there with a $50 loss.

Avoid sure trader at all costs. Terrible.

[sandtrap246]

Ah well thanks anyway. Great idea, but I don't blame you. Looks like it would require a lot of time and effort to maintain. Especially with the way online brokers keep changing.

No problem, call the office in Scottsdale and ask for Paul. He is a good guy. And just fyi, Alpine and Scottsdale Capital Advisors are the same company. The Scottsdale location handles retail, look for the number there. GL-

[Penny Heaven]

Thanks for the tip.

[botlow]

Have you tried Alpine? They are expensive as hell, and not the fastest by any stretch, but they will clear stuff 99% of brokers will not. I am assuming you are just looking to deposit and liquidate. They do have a 25k minimum value requirement for cert deposits though, just fyi. If it is close to that amount, you may be able to get them to bend. Hope this helps.

FD2you... I have the same problem, cause my bank (CREDIT SUISSE, headquarters Zurich, Switzerland) forces me to transfer my OTC's to another bank/broker and until now I could not find one who would take all my OTC-stocks (ERHE, EVRM, SNEY, CWRN).
ETRADE is no option, cause no transfers of OTC-stocks, no NON-US clients
optionsXpress is no option, cause no transfers of OTC-stocks
Fidelity? heard is not good anymore for OTC-stocks?
Scottrade was never good for OTC-stocks
SpeedTrader has inactivity fee

Does anyone have another suggestion for transfer and trading of OTC-stocks?

Thank you all in advance
