TDAm by far the largest online broker - UBSS by far the biggest retail MM - TDMa has a restriction on 'buys' -

The 'facts' have already been posted - have to have a serious lack of imagination to miss the connection, imo

The way the brokerages explain the reason for doing this though is by making it sound like the company is doing somehting illegal, which is why the restriction was initiated. We all know it is because the MM's and brokers are doing the illegal trading...usually not the companies. God Iwish the SEC would wake up and get their heads out of their arses regarding this.

master: UBSS is still trading the stock.

That says to me that other brokers that use UBSS, like Schwab, are still allowing their customers to buy this stock. I've spoken with Ameritrade (and received e-mails) every time buying has been halted on one of my positions, they never once gave me the speicific reason, they only gave me the list of possible reasons. IMO, it's the dividend causing this problem as it has not been clearly defined to both brokers and investors.
