ERHC Energy Inc (ERHE)

Something else strange is that the "new" ERHC shares were in my Fidelity account on the day the RS split happened, January 15th. While I don't know if I could have bought or sold on that day because I didn't try, they were there and it appeared to me that I could sell them then had I wanted to do so. My broker didn't need to make lame excuses about why this is taking so long and that the usual time frame is weeks.

It just makes me wonder what the problem is with some of these other brokers. If Fidelity can get it done, why can't everybody else? It's not like the old days when you had to wait for actual certificates. Almost all shares are in electronic form now and very few certificates are ever issued. It should be just a few keystrokes to make the transition.

By the way, had my broker charged me for this I would be calling them asking them to waive the fee. All they can say is no and if you threaten them with closing your account, they will probably waive it. I would say it's not about the money, but it is about the money.
