Oh, I wasn't given a choice. It isn't a case where I pay a fee and then get the shares. I was just being told that WHENEVER I do get the shares, then I'll be charged automatically.
In the meantime, I'm in a bad enough mood that I'm trying to catch the FINW knife, which could be a bad idea. I have an average of .0027 at the moment and hoping for a quick flip, though it may not happen that way. I'm feeling dangerous.
It tanked hard after a merger announcement which included (as seems standard in the OTC) a huge R/S. Run for the hills!
