Thanks No BS, my other thought was it was connected with some NSS activity wherein they did not want to take on those naked shares which had FTD or something related. I am reaching here... so perhaps others have a better take.
in re #1, they took on other positions just fine so likely not the commissions, as it is in those days 1mil could be bought cheaply ;) courtesy the nss for providing the lucrative opps!
in re #2, hmmm broker-dealer of their choice, perhaps, so they could continue the coordinated efforts...
Thanks for your perspective though, looking fwd to your posts that are factual and some are getting free education at your hand LOL, maybe you should reverse charge their masters for having to give them free advise ha!
