Hey today..
I missed happy hour so I can't respond in pm. I did play prtt and I have been going back and forth with Tradeking regarding a possible DTC ineligible fee. They recently shut down my accounts because I had more than 1 in same name...so I had to call in to place the sell order. Tradeking is the worst for pennystocks anyway. I had issues with them back in 2007, and I rolled my eyes when they bought out Zecco trading...I knew there would be problems.
I will be VERY angry if they go ahead and charge me the fee, because when I bought, there was no warning. I think tradeking usually just doesn't allow DTC ineligible/chilled stocks to be traded. They are saying that they apparently "missed" this one, because it didn't trade much.
Normal traders like you and me can't just call up the DTC and find out which stock has a DTC chill/ineligible or not, THAT IS THE BROKER'S JOB. They work for us!!
and when I sold I had to call in and talk with trading assistant...and there was no warning flag. (I sold for $20 though) ;)
When you have to call in, and have a trader put the trade in for you, and he doesn't see any issues with the trade....then how can I be held responsible?....It's like they are retroactively charging me for a trade on a stock that they just found out that they missed.
I bet they will try and get me for an Illiquidity fee too. I have not heard of anyone being charged either DTC ineligible or illiquid fee from Apex-cleared broker. But I hate Tradeking so I won't put it past them.
I have a bad feeling that if I kept my mouth shut and didn't call in to find out why my accounts were frozen, there wouldn't be any question about a fee, they wouldn't have noticed it.
will let you know if they charge me.
BTW, good to know about new lawyer handling case for AOBI, She certainly can't be worse than the other guy who conveniently was never available....except for the time you talked to him...but he was either oblivious to the situation...or deliberately misleading(a lawyer?? I'm shocked lol)
Good luck with your endeavors in 2015 as well ;)
