JackCB . . That sounds rather pompous of them, but that is the reality of the world's economics. Many of us have run into similar attitudes when trying to work within many of the more respected stock houses - they won't allow trades with ERHC and if they do, it has to be a miniscule amount. "Penny stocks are too volatile" I was told 3 years ago when I sold 140,000 one day and tried to buy them back 3 days later. Even though they allowed me to buy them in the first place, they refused to let me buy them again. I would like to see some volitility in the right direction right now.
