That happens to me with TDA every once in a while..
I've noticed that with ICOA (0.01) for about a month now and my account shows a multi-thousand dollar one day gain each day but its never real...
I also am stuck with some old MCCI stock that does the same thing. That shows .0033 and up thousands of dollars daily but it's also been .0001 forever.
I've always thought its a TDAmeritrade screw up. But I do get excited from time to time :)

Hi Risk,
Im not a big trader. I opened TDA years ago as my only broker and really have nothing to compare it to. The $9.99 per trade is what is appealing. I don't trade daily and lately I just go on to watch a few decent stocks move and my small list of .0001 stocks sit there hoping for what just happened here with EPGL.
I haven't had many complaints about TDA so far.
The only time I had any issue with them was years ago when a stock went up dramatically after a symbol change and me and others had to watch as people sold for profit for days while we couldn't because TDA didn't have the new shares set up yet....3-4 days later it was trading with TDA but not before any gains were sold off. But I'd guess thats probably the issue with other large online brokers too. For what I do tho, Im happy with TDA... but I doubt heavy volume traders would want the limitations.

I wrote them recently...and got this back:

"Thank you for contacting TD Ameritrade. EPGL has a "DTC Chill" designation on it.

When an issue is designated as "DTC chill" at Depository Trust Company (DTCC), it is not eligible for physical deposit or delivery through the DTC. These restrictions prohibit a clearing firm¿s ability to settle trades once their book entry holdings are depleted. Based on the industry wide "DTC Chill" restriction, this prohibits a clearing firms', specifically TD Ameritrade¿s, ability to settle trades and prevents book entry deliveries. If we are unable to settle our clients¿ trades, the liability of the trade becomes TD Ameritrade¿s. At this time, there is not a set timeline for if/when the restriction will be removed. However, once the industry wide "DTC Chill" restriction is lifted, TD Ameritrade will re-evaluate whether the issue will be allowed to be traded again. At this point, the only recourse you have is to contact the investor relations department of the issuer.

Other brokers may be allowing opening transactions on EPGL, however, at this time, TD Ameritrade has made the business decision to not allow opening transactions. We do not want to take the increased risk of not being able to settle trades.

I will have my Risk Department look at this security again, but I cannot give a time frame of when or if the restriction will be lifted on EPGL."

Apparently you can sell EPGL on TDA but still not buy shares...

Hi all, Novice question here..

Just quick stupid question to see if I have this correct...
If there's the settlement that we're expecting now..we don't get "bought out for money" right? To me the way I read it seems that there will be a new WAMU that emerges and we'll have shares in that which could have $$ value? or is everyone going to be selling as soon as the WAMUQ price gets into the dollars hopefully? Thanks..

Hi all. Just a fyi about Haddon House. If this turns out to be legit and they end up stocking and distributing the stuff, you will probably see it popping up on shelves in A&P supermarkets. Thats where Haddon House does a great deal of it's business. HH for quite a while has supplied most of the grocery items that A&P doesn't carry in their own warehouse. Even with A&Ps money problems, there's still a lot of stores out there. So if this is true, it's pretty good news for getting the stuff out there.

1,050,000 for me. thanks.

hey,,,im long on this but its fake news...

this is an exact copy of a real news article from Aug 13, 2009 06:21 ET all they did was replace "Re-Tech Project Management Inc" with MCCI.. just google passages from the news and youll go right to that news from last year on Marketwire.
