Here's the problem - this stock should have opened at .55 immediately after the split. Scottrade started trading it early which was their right in this market but their error caused the stock to trade at much lower levels than it should have and it is still trading at those levels now. When the stock was trading at close to .55, scott's customers were not allowed to sell. They can also not buy through scott to average down their per share price which, in my case is around .93. This is my beef with them, I understand that they made an honest mistake (maybe) but the way they have treated their customers who didn't try to buy or sell as a result of the mistake is criminal. I am not looking to enrich myself at Scott's expense-I am just looking to get back the money I would have had if I could sell or average down during this time. Do you not understand how a lot of traders have been financially damaged by Scott's actions? I just think you don't see the real problem and are too focused on people enriching themselves at poor innocent Scott's expense. They are not so innocent- they just never ever admit guilt - they pay lots of fines, the information about their activities is well-documented if you care to look.
Be humble enough to always acknowledge your own weaknesses, and be flexible enough to adapt from what you may be accustomed to, because rigidity will deny you the freedom of new possibilities.
