*****************
Hello and thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I cannot go into detail with you why this decision was made. I can tell you that we take the decision to restrict trading very seriously. While all trading of securities involves risk, sometimes the level of risk associated with a specific security is escalated beyond what is considered reasonable to TD Ameritrade.
Both you and TD Ameritrade take on risk whenever a security is traded. While you may be willing to accept any risk associated with this security, there are certain business risks TD Ameritrade chooses not to accept.
Some of the reasons a stock may be restricted to Closing Transactions only include:
-Corporate Actions in which a lack of information, confusing terms, or unclear objectives may be involved. All corporate actions should be transparent as to objectives.
-Apparent or possible fraudulent activity by a company or it's officers, with potentially manipulative actions to affect a stock price.
-Frequent unsubstantiated press releases in an attempt to affect the stock's price.
-Deceptive or contradictory statements regarding past or projected performance.
-Corporate Identity Theft
-Valid companies associated with 3rd parties (i.e. transfer agents, consultants, etc) that have shown a predisposition to any of the above activities.
-Companies known or suspected to be involved in Money Laundering activity
I hope this helps. I would like to thank you for your business and your satisfaction with TD AMERITRADE is important to me. If you have additional questions, if my answer is not clear or if I have not met your expectations, please let us know. We would be happy to work with you on any account questions or investing needs.
Best Regards,
Shannon Hiz
