Yeah I have done that before but I just want things to be settled. I tried buying SFOR in April a million shares a while back when it was at 0002 and I had a warning on my account because they said I had bought then sold with unsettled funds then sold before the 3 days were up. I simply lost track of the transaction date. No excuse for me on that one. But Scottrade had a restriction on buying that one anyway. Only sells...NO BUYS. I even tried 2 more times after that to buy it. Once in August when it was at 0005 and then one more time near the end of September when it was at 001. Still they were only allowing sells and NO BUYS. I really hate brokers when they do that. Check the price on that now! Scottrade really pisses me off sometimes! They are only out for themselves, not their clients!
I think sometimes they are short and deliberately don't want people to make money. I know that's my very paranoid thought but how can you trust a system that's teetering on the brink of disaster?
