scott yes
OT ART....when do you leave for Aruba?
Meaning what Art? Is James asking for a cert recall or just sending a request to open trading?
I’m fine with that and if it is sooner all the better. I just hope I am near the computer to see her fly.
Hopefully with so many putting pressure on this nonsense things will go back to where we should be.
GLTYT
At any rate, I do feel more confident after talking with my broker yesterday that the stock is over shorted and not that there was any company wrong doing.
BUMMER! EOM
MUST READ.........corect me if I am wrong but I dont think shares from non-margin accounts or shares for sale can be borrwed.

THINK ABOUT THIS ONE.
What about a HIGH GTC ORDER so the mm can't borrow your shares.
I just put mine in at 0.20

Scottrade update.
I went to my Carlsbad office on Friday as Sarah there has been helpful in sending requests for information regarding the fax memo that they received on Wendesday to restrict buying on IPRE. Her requests were not answered but Scottrade removed the restrictions on IPRE trading Thursday morning.
She resent the email while I was in the office Friday and she said that her and the other brokers mentioned that it was odd to receive that fax without an explanation, and it was for 3 stocks. Apparently it is not uncommon to receive memos for restricted orders but usually a reason stated. I also asked if Scottrade short sells stocks and she said that Scottrade does not short stocks but other firms do. That also may explain why Scottrade removed their restrictions before others. Even though Scott remove the restriction she is still trying to follow up on it and will call me on Monday. If she does not get a reply with a valid reason I will be convinced that it is due to an over short number. I also told her about Ameritrades reason and she was not informed of that.
Point is; If concerns are of manipulation then all firms would still be restricting online orders.
PS, joro please sell your shares and move on. You have lost faith and hope, and I see no reason for your posts. You seem to alone in your bashing. Just think, by selling your shares at a loss you will have less to lose and can make up the loss elsewhere.
Next week should be fun lets hope the restricted buying is off soon. Enough complaints went in to show that we know what is going on here.
I vote that James should double Florida's divy shares as a bonus for all the work that Florida does.
Thanks Florida!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MULE has an ask of .09
I thought it was or was someone trying to short and shake out the sellers????
Dont forget the day the stock droped to .0004.
My guess is that Scott handles less pink sheet traders being that they add the ½% fee for less than $1 stocks.
Ameritrade is a flat $9.99 whereas Scott is $7 for anything over $1 pps. Less than $1 pps the ½% is an additional $5 per $1000.
Most of my stocks are $10+ pps and those are $7 per trade. But for those that only trade penny stocks probably do not have their accounts with Scottrade.
Maybe the reason Scottrade lifted the restrictions Thursday morning and also why volume did not move much.
Have your broker call Mike at the Carlsbad scottrade office in Ca. Confirmed w/Mike yesterday that restriction was lifted.
Scottrade removed restrictions Thurs A.M. on IPRE for buying. Now if only the others can do the same.
If everyone threatened to switch their eTrade and Ameritrade account to Scottrade maybe they will get this straightened out and open online orders. Put some pressure on them.
If you email etrade, ask them why scottrade is open for online IPRE buying.
Scottrade never gave me an answer as to why they closed online orders for about 3-4 hours on Wednesday but they did reopen buy orders on Thursday morning. The broker said she received a fax on Wednesday with IPRE on it to restrict Buying orders. She sent an email to wherever, called me back after market closed saying that the restriction would be off Thurs morning. And it was.
Scottrade is $7 for market or limit orders but for stocks less than $1 there is an extra ½% (or an $12 on a $1000 order if the stock is <$1 at the time of trade.)
Usually they will give a good # of free trades when you switch.
Online restrictions: What I find strange is that Scottrade is the only one now allowing online non-broker assisted buying. Does anyone know why one would allow and not all the others? I bot today and so did someone else on the board with Scottrade.
So Scottrade is the only one letting buy orders go in and I did get a small order filled with them this morning placed online.
Interesting that on the XKEM board you sounded like a large buyer

Has eTrade or AmerT been tested lately? You can test with a buy order of 100 at .0005, then if it gets you to review page you know it is clear. Then just hit the cancel button instead of submit.
Scottrade is open for buys
Scottrade online buy orders WORKING!!!
THANK YOU!! EOM
The other thing odd about that is when I called for the broker to place the order she only asked my Acc. #
Now that I think about it, if there was some hacking she would have asked me to confirm SS#
Florida, glad you are still here. Tomorrow should be interesting.
Seems like something like that would have halted trades completely on the stock.
That sounds odd
Well whatever is going on, Scottrade seamed to be the last to stop internet buys. I was able to place and purchase 2 orders until 1:00 but my 3rd buy order at 1:20 could not be placed online…..Placed with broker.
She did not know why but has sent an email to the traders and will call me in the morning. She did confirm that SELL ORDERS could be placed online.
Seems that others were having problems hours before Scottrade if that has something to do with the individual firms
Hope James waits on any new until buys can be done online.
Scottrade sell orders are O.K.
For grins I placed a sell order on line after having to get a broker assisted buy order. That was strange!
Yes I just tried to modify my buy order (scottrade)and had to call broker. She did not know why but changed my order (waved the broker fee) This morning I bot some w/o problems.
MM's are slowing the buys
what did you get filled at?
well I'll move it up to 0018 then and see what gives
not taking my .0017 buy what's up?
only the 1/2% if the stock is less than $1. Everything over $1 is $7 per trade market or limit
Scottrade is $7 and working fine so far (bot today) but eTrade charged me $60 to transfer my acc.
Scottrade worked fine for me.
Good Morning, Just got some $$ and added 865000 at 18 and 430600 at 19. Hope that news will be good!
I use to be w/Ameritrade and they did that too often just to get the higher broker assisted fees. I switched to Scottrade and they dont do those games.
I meant overdue on Never Submit
