I don't have a clue why they would waive a fee. Would you as a company ever wave a $40.00 fee? If 200 customers asked you to issue their certs why would E-Trade not charge their normal fee? Just to get rid of CMKXers doesnt float imo. I have no other reason that I can think of. Has this ever been done before? This will cost the brokerages a ton of money buy not charging for certs. I don't get it.lol
