Carl.. I have the same problem with Schwab...and I do not know what to do about it.. I wish I did..
Schwab is getting much too greedy and independent for me I think. It cost me $200. to buy and sell 5000 shares. A bit too high in todays market, don't you think, maybe I should move my IRA elsewhere..
Please.. should you, or others have suggestions, or recommendations.. let me hear from you. PM's advised. Thanks!
