Firegiant: Your letter to TDAmeritrade about their decision to restrict trading of SMPP stock is unlikely to achieve anything positive if for no other reason than this claim you made in your letter:
Now The SEC called Me today as well and Also has confirmed They see nothing currently wrong with SMPP on the books and have actually offered to contact the DTCC and investigate Why the Lock was put into place.
Anyone who has ever dealt with the SEC knows that it would NEVER state that there is nothing currently wrong with a company, much less offer to contact another agency and investigate why they took a restrictive action. The SEC simply does not comment about the status of companies privately. This fact is well known among industry professionals.
It is not up to shareholders to try to get restrictions on trading released, regardless of which entity placed the restriction. The company itself must respond to the entities imposing restrictions and work to resolve the issues.
