OT: Many years ago the big brokerage companies put restrictions on certain accounts and advisor fee accounts. In many of my posts I mentioned that companies with less than a $300 million market cap prohibits a investor with an adviser to buy equity worth less than that amount.

If you have an adviser, he or she should have explained the reasons behind the restrictions. But if you have a self managed online account there are no restrictions. If you have an account with an advisor, but pay a trading fee for a buy and a sell that is not in a retirement account then they still must warn you and put the trade through as an unsolicited trade. But there are more stringent rules with retirement accounts. Prohibiting from you buying pennies or equities under a specific market cap was meant to preserve there fees based on your account size and your wealth. Of course they will tell you that your wealth comes first. They also have a legal obligation to direct you away from equities with little trade volume and otc B.B. stocks that have no obligation to guarantee you the sale of an equity. You can also recoup in many cases up to $100 thousand if you lose in a penny stock and you were not advised not to buy it. Another reason why ML, UBS and others do not want you to buy a penny stock.

Good luck to all
