They are tradable. They are not differentiated at all from my purchased shares.
The screenshot I attached was for the "Transaction" so to speak of them going into my account. My total holdings for NSAV are the lump sum of my purchase and my dividends. Also, confirmed with my broker last week.
I spoke to a broker with Etrade about them the other day. In a nutshell I was told they are currently WORTHLESS. They are NOT restricted. What needs to be done is get the CUSIP NUMBER (that 9-digit number) changed to a TICKER SYMBOL. It can be done by TILTON!! In other words, the COMPANY must do it.At least that is what I was told.
If some were able to change the cusip number to a ticker symjbol without Tilton doing it well, good for them but Etrade can't do it.
Having said that, I stumbled on some tax software that actually has a function that ATTEMPTS to change the CUSIP NUMBER to a TICKER SYMBOL. I have yet to download the software (free trial) but I probably will to try it out. Nothing to lose.
