They actually have released them. However, some brokers don't seem to find it an emergency to hurry up your shares. The reps only know what info they have been given. Yesterday I talked with my broker at TDam and at 11:00 got the same story. Then At around 12:30-1pm the account showed all shares transferred accounted for. Then at close the share cost avg showed up, so all was complete. I was worried just like you are now. Honestly, its a good sign to go to another broker when you have a chance. I have friends with shares in Scott and Fidelity and all have been delayed. It seems to just be a lack of urgency on there part b/c If TDam has everything completed yesterday by 1pm then all could do the same. Its just a matter whether they believe it priority or not. Hope that helps in some way. It does reflect poorly on the brokers ability and priorities.
