8000 Incorporated (EIGH)

[learner1156]

I called Banc of America and spoke to a support person, who conferenced in a trader. I explained that someone who tried to buy shares using Ameritrade were told that it was no longer available unless purchased in person. The trader checked and found no news or other information that supported what the Ameritrade person told you. He said I should have no problems trading EIGH online (at Banc of America).

Perhaps one of the following happened:
(1) The person at Ameritrade keyed in an incorrect symbol.
(2) For some reason Ameritrade can no longer handle the stock.
(3) There is news that isn't fully diseminated yet which will explain this anomoly.

Maybe you could call one of the other trading houses to see if they have a similar situation.
