Simply not true as to Scottrade. For better or worse (definitely feeling like worse right now), I was able to buy several large blocks of shares online at several points throughout the day.

Dear Investor:
Thank you for your e-mail. Sometimes Scottrade will place on line purchase restrictions on securities. This can be done for several reasons. If you are continuing to have difficulty placing a trade on this security, you may contact your local branch office. If there is a valid bid/ask for the stock, then they should be able to place the trade for you at the internet rate.
