Here is what i found out:

It seems that for transactions of EIGH, certificates are to be physically transferred, and not electronically transferred. So, for every transaction (buy) through Ameritrade, Ameritrade has to incur a mailing charge to physically get the certificates. Since this is so costly to Ameritrade (40 bucks a transaction i beleive), they will no longer trade EIGH.

This request to physically transfer certificates for EIGH seemed to come from either the company, MM or Transfer Agent. I have emailed the company about this problem.

Per the Ameritrade rep, what needs to be done is for the company to re-enable electronic trading of stock certificates. I beleive this can simply be done by having an officer of 8000 inc. call up Ameritrade and OK the electronic trading of EIGH.
