I have Charles SCHLUB too with a 0 (zero) balance. Used to me TD Ameritrade. Before that was SCOFFTrade. I can't get rid of the last two securities or whatever they are. Had to pay $$$ to get rid of plenty of other penny crocks I bought in 2006. Kept getting charged "maintenance fees" for items I lost $$$ on all those years ago. And was even in the RED with a negative value. Git sick and tired of it. This is why I never buy OTC crocks any longer. They are money pits.

GENESIS BIOVENTURES???? Never heard of it lol!! Who knows what the original name/ticker was then OR why I even played it...

The SEC contacted me once, somewhere around 2005, wanted to know why I had bought Giga Bubala Technologies (I'm making up the name here, literary license), 3 years prior. My first reaction was to say "who the fuck knows, I'm not sure why I bought shit yesterday", however I stayed civil and told the guy that the stock wasn't ringing any bells. What's the ticker? He gave it to me and I told him I'd do some research and call back.

I did my research, took a couple hours, turns out I bought the thing before a FS name change, sold it after, and made off with about $300 in profit.

THIS IS YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK.

Well, I said I'd call back, so I did, and made the guy feel like an idiot for calling me in the first place.

$300 bucks, biggest crime of the century, and he wanted to be the one to bring me to justice. Obviously the real flaw in his plan is that I live in France and the SEC has no jurisdiction here.

Just got this message. Ha! 😆 Yes, that's happened to me from time to time. I hold some of these symbols as a badge of honor when I have 1 share of some obscure stock and I'm down 99.9% on it (after multiple reverse splits).

GBIW hmm, doesn't ring a bell, but if it's a shit penny stock, I probably owned it.

Looks like it traded on the AMEX at one point. Symbol GBI
