EOS Preferred Corp Series D Pfd (fka EOSPN)

[mrholty]

Frustrating/ed. Tried to buy some in my wife's IRA. Of course since she owns none (what we own is in my accounts) they state:

This security is restricted from online opening trades or restricted to closing trades only.

I therefore called them and asked why. Nice rep put me on hold for 3 seperate times for a total of 30 minutes. Seemingly no one can tell her why but one cannot add either as a new purchase or add to an existing amount, only sell.

Clearly others are able to trade. Anyone know why Fidelity has the restriction and has anyone been able to get around it. I really don't want to mess with my other account.
