You can no longer buy this stock on Etrade. Below is a notification I received, informing that they will not allow purchase of shares of companies on the Caveat Emptor list. To see that SFEG is on the list, follow the link, click on the caveat emptor box. To find SFEG in the very long list you can filter on the price range (I used 0.05 to 0.06). Just to be sure I tried to initiate a buy order and confirmed that it won't let me do it.
