TDA is even worse~ They have been shorting all kind of pennies n subpennies...then turn around n place restriction...giving its members hard time to buy/sell~ Doh'!
All brokers are crooks~ just have to find out which one would cheat/steal less from u~ Stay the heck away from Zecco, Choicetrade, Kingtrade, Bear...n Scotturd~
I've been told that putting your shares up at the max amount allowed prevents your brokerage from borrowing your shares and shorting the position themselves.
