Pete, is your cert in your name or street name (Broker) from what I understand, a stock cannot trade unless one of the below 3 options are met: 1) company has a TA 2) a TA is acting as a intermediary until a TA is hired 3) the company takes on the responsibility as the TA so, either Fairross is the intermediary TA, or the Alcar is. We know that AST&T is not.
