SCOTTRADE must be reading this board (only joking), but seriously my local office just called asking how my satisfaction was with their services. They NEVER call. All I can figure is that enough people have pulled their accounts and it's made a notable impression. Therefore, Scottrade has taken "notice" and are calling clients with OTC stocks in their accounts.

I contacted Ameritrade and received good and bad news.

I can open an account and they DO trade REDG with no restrictions. They even have an offer if you open your account with $3,000 you will receive free trades for two months, even on OTC stocks.

The bad news however. They will NOT accept REDG as a transfer stock. He had no explanation as too why. He said their transfer app either accepts the ticker or denies it, no reason given.

Looks like I am going to open my new account with TD-Ameritrade and keep my outstanding REDG stock with Scottrade.

***Someone else said they got a call from Scottrade today. I have received there since Thursday, two branch managers, and the national call center asking if I was happy with their service and keep in mind they are their for me anytime. I was even invited into the local branch to discuss my portfolio. :-D I don't think they liked me pulling my cash out of my account to say the least.
