The other side of the coin is folks will be unwilling to sell if they know they can't get back in without finding a decent broker.

If I would've let Ameritrade dictate my investment decisions, in an attempt to protect their business interests, I wouldn't be in the comfortable position I am today.

I quit using Ameritrade because of that fact. I just left the account open and found another broker. No need to transfer or sell.

Good Luck To All!$!$

much thanks 12378, good information.

after reading the other following posts I found your posts and Slash's to be the most informative.

i did something similar with my D.A. Davidson account. I've left some stocks in it in case they ever 'grow' but I no longer buy or sell on that account.

going to check out the ones you mentioned and open a new account as i DO love the high risk, penny stocks.

the one main bit of truth i learned from talking to the broker at Ameritrade is that buy/selling of a stock such as GERS has NOTHING to do with risk to them... (it's not their money, it's people like me who lose/win) rather, their commission structure is based for maximum profit for THEM. Scottrade charged more in commission for stocks like GERS and I, for one, was willing to pay a little extra.

Ameritrade could change to fit investors like myself but after my conversation with that 'man'? I doubt they know if it's day or night outside.

Also, it is good to have the ability to buy GERS if others get tired of such things as time, brokers, news (rumored or actual) THAT's when some good profits could be made. Just look at BTZO and all those investors who bought at .0001 and sold on that huge volume day for a 100% profit.

This has been in place for at least EIGHT years! However, the elimination of one of the remaining three major brokerages that will allow trading in GERS (Scottrade) severely limits access to purchasing GERS. Is this just another barrier that will have to be overcome to find the "promised land", or it is it "another nail in the common shareholders' coffin"?
