Will someone tell me why my restricted usca shares in my "usallianz account" gave me the 3 for 1 forward split and my restricted shares in my Ameritrade account is not going to yield me the 3-1 split because the Ameritrade account representatives say that restricted shares of usca does not qualify for the 3-1 forward split, and my scottrade accounts is not showing the 3 for 1 forward split either. When I called up my scottrade account representative and asked him why I did not get the 3 for 1 forward split, he acted as though he could not understand what I was talking about, he said he could not even find a symbol or any information on the company. HOw can the smaller brokerage firms exercise the 3 for 1 forward split and the mega companies like Ameritrade and Scottrade cannot. Something with this picture is not right. I wonder what is going on? Someone please explain. tia!
