Yep, I was in BIEL for a 28-bagger in Feb '14. Some forum members had the chill at Ameritrade couldn't make a transaction on that symbol when they wanted to. I've seen the same thing on a few other pennies there.
I have some chump change in an Ameritrade account - I think it's the worst brokerage interface I've seen. I'm so glad they didn't buy out Etrade back in '08.
Etrade works well for me. Fidelity is another decent one.
