Ameritrade refused my attempt to start a position in this company, citing the "chill." Twenty-odd years of investing for a living and I'd never run into this before. More interesting is that I'm a fairly high dollar client of theirs. Their position is that house rules cannot guarantee trade charges will be satisfied, thus refusal to execute.
Not sure what to make of this. And no, I won't switch brokerages.
