...btw, that is particularly true of post-freeze holders. Brokers needed to have PHYSICAL CERTS ON HAND in order sell to us. My broker admitted it.
I said to my broker ( which is what Etrade in fact stated ):
Trading is allowed despite a DTC lock, if a participant holds securities in physical form and is willing to settle trading without the services of the DTC.
My broker replied: If the stock was locked from trading, you wouldn’t be able to purchase the stock in your TD Waterhouse account.
I pointed out that they DID sell me share AFTER the freeze. No response since...lol.
He didn't do his homework. I did.
Also, check this out from the same guy:
Additionally, as per my research , E-Trade is also not issuing certificates for this security ( www.investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=67429933# ). I have again confirmed with our back-office and they reiterated that they would not be able to release a statement of ownership for BCIT. I hope I was able to clear up any confusion regarding this issue.
Notice the source of his research? Brokers don't read the boards huh? TD WATERHOUSE IS READING THIS FRIGGIN BOARD!!!!
...I'll let that sink in.
...for goodness sake lets have some fun watching these people squirm. - CH
