RESPONSE FROM TD ON CHILL:

"Good day. When an issue is designated as DTC chill at DTCC it is not eligible for physical deposit or delivery through the DTC. This restriction prohibits a clearing firm's ability to settle trades once their book entry holdings are depleted. Based on the industry wide DTC Chill restriction that prohibits a clearing firm's, specifically TD Ameritrade's, ability to settle trades and prevents book entry deliveries. If we are unable to settle our clients' trades the liability of the trade becomes TD Ameritrade's. As such, we are not accepting any opening orders for such stocks. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you for choosing TD Ameritrade."
