Just wanted to know if anyone else out there is having this problem.

I've bought EIGH three times: March 4, March 5 and March 9. Today I got hit by ThinkorSwim for over $300 for a certificate. The problem, all my cash I had spent yesterday on GRNO. I did not realize this until 4 p.m. today when I finally logged onto TOS to see what the stocks had done for the day when I saw, This account has no buying power, stocks subject to liquidation.


So I check my email, and there is a maintance margin call due today. So I try and call the guy to get answers and tell him $300 was on the way via ACH, no answer. Left a voicemail, no callback. I sent the guy 2 emails, one nice, one not so nice telling him a phone call would have been appreciated as I could have wired the funds if need be. I also told him I did not request the certificate.


My next question is. Will I get hit again because I bought on three seperate days. God I hope not, I mean I'm a believer in EIGH but my C/ A just went up. $300 is step for certs so I'm hoping no more fees. Perhaps a disclaimer should have been there when I went to buy the stock.


I'll be looking for new brokers but I'm assuming with the pennies
stocks in my account will they be transferable and will they accept the certificate or charge me a fee for having it.


I saw on the EIGH board where someone with a Just2Trade account was also hit with a cert fee, anyone else in here have that yet. I mean dangit I bought this over a month ago, why are they just doing this now.


Last question, If I paid for it they should mail it to me correct, at least I can frame the sumbitch.
