not true, as I have repeatedly stated, my ETLK was free to trade months ago. No paper work (on my part) required. The stocks were sent via jumbo certificates and just have to be split out to sell. Just provide your brokerage house with the transfer agent for ETLK (I got it off this board at the time)tell them the restiction was up after one year and the stock was issued in a jumbo certificate. Thwy will verify and the stock may be sold (again,no 144 papers or any other paper work required).
