A reasonable person would assume that a national broker (Fidelity) depositing a qualified cash dividend that is unrestricted and freely tradable from day one knows what they are doing and would not assume that it would take them three+ days to figure out their mistake and reverse it with no notice. The rep. I talked to agreed with my comment. That kind of stuff doesn't read well in the news for brokers. Their actions caused the price drop which is now causing margin calls. I am happy to tell all and I will be seeking legal council next week.
