HGLC .. “bobbybdb” Re: DTCC issues.

Hello “bobbybdb”, in response to your question.

I don’t believe the DTCC has any direct bearings on the nature of trades performed by investors.

It IS between the brokerage firms and their clients.

The DTCC basically helps automate, centralize, standardize and streamline processes that are critical to the safety and soundness of the capital markets.

Read more of the DTCC here; http://www.dtcc.com

They don’t actually “GOVERN” whether one can actually place a trade directly or “on-line” through a broker. Research divulged that whether or not a company trades through a given broker is solely at the digression of the broker.

In research, there are a whole host of reasoning as to why a company will trade through one broker and not another.

Although you could ask your broker for reasons, they’ll likely not know why since the reasoning stems from the brokerage firm’s “Internal Ogres” and actually none of their business.

In some cases, the trading company doesn’t know.

Reasoning can be for tracking purposes, issues with certain free trading clearances and (Broker)-God knows what-all.

While you also mentioned your fidelity account can trade (Place On-Line BUY orders for) HGLC, there are likely some stock they wont allow “on-Line” trading without their intervention.

Every Brokerage Firm doesn’t likely share the same trading criteria(s) for the same trading companies.

BUT, the CEO of HGLC would need to clear up the broken link if they wish to sell their shares (to buyers) more streamlined.

As I said before, if HGLC released a PR and the PPS increased on market reactions, by the time I call by broker and clear a BUY-Order, the opportunity would have long passed.
Thus making the brokerage call and all that effort, totally worthless.

I’d then be stuck with the alternative of having multiple brokerage accounts.
Then I’d have to link them to transfer funds between them as I chase opportunities on one side or the other –and on and on and on……Naaaaaaaa!….>=^U..
