so let me ask u this they won't let u transfer your shares ? i mean that's bs can't keep u hostage there has to be a way to move those to another broker like scottrade , i use them and have spoken w them and they see no problem w otow it would be like a company charging u whatever they wish whenever they wish and u not able to have any recourse so if they decide that it will cost u $50,000 per trade for all your equities regardless, then u r stuck ? u can't move them sounds like some serious bs to me
