When it first happened at Etrade they were claiming that there was an entire freeze on the equities and they couldn't even allow transfers. But that was wrong. They ended up giving in and allowing transfers to other brokers. Now, I had my ipwg shares with Etrade when it made a monster move. I was very well ahead and my hands were tied. I could not sell them. By the time I got the darn shares transferred the stock had dropped below my purchase price. Total bs on Etrade's part imo. If they allow you to buy it, they should allow you to sell it. If they want to put a freeze on purchases I can understand that, but to not allow a customer to sell is insane.
