Here is what I think. There was no mad rush to get certs before DTC freeze. After the freeze TDAm, Scott etc stopped allowing trades due the fact they can't clear them. If they could like Fidelity etc why would they not keep it going giving themselves a chance to cover this alleged short some imply they are hiding. Does not compute. I think is simply what they say. No clearing service no trading. Let what ever is bothering DTCC get cleared up and service restored and TDA etc will let it trade again. Don't believe there is a conspiracy or cover up being run by the brokers. Gene sure seems to be misdirecting focus again tell us to move our shares. Weird damn company no doubt about it. Really ticks me off. But keep believing if you can as I can't prove didley like everyone else. We can only go by what we see and what our gut tells us.
It is easy to figure out what you believe. The difficulty lies in determining - is what you believe the truth.
