From the BP BOARD just an FYI nothing here to see except the info included
received this email form Scottrade. Although Scottrade has hundreds of millions of dollars in various "WAMU" flavors to transition I wouldn't think this has anything to do with our hold up.
It's best that everyone review the following transition dates that may hamper you from accessing your account/s and preforming several tasks including trading.
Dear Valued Client,
We’re excited to let you know that as of Monday, February 26, your Scottrade brokerage account, ending in *****666, will transition to TD Ameritrade. There is nothing you need to do right now—the transfer will take place automatically.
Whether you invest for the short or long term, as a TD Ameritrade client, you’ll find an investment experience built around you – with web, mobile, and downloadable platforms that give you everything you need to research securities, place trades, and manage your portfolio in new and better ways.
To make sure you’re ready to take advantage of it all right on day one, we encourage you to:
? Review this information—in particular how to access your account at TD Ameritrade.
