Call and make sure you lodge a complaint to the SEC..you bought yoru stocks legally and they were not haulted but yet your broker refused to let you sell.
Spent over a half an hour on phone w/manager of Ameritrade today----
I am sending emails tomorrow and certified letters of complaint.
As I noted in prior post---called SEC, also.
Eight years I have been trading---this is totally trash-- we cannot effectively trade w/our hands tied---and our kind brokerages who have romanced traders for years via television, etc----have stuck the knife in!!!
