I think Ameriturd restricts trading when they cannot make their break even point on commissions. I hope they will turn on buying ability when their preferred MM's are on board April 23rd.
I have heard so many posters complain about ameritrade and their restrictions I cant believe anyone would still deal with them.
If I could ever give anyone any sort of advise in this forum it would be to position yourselves with a qualified and reliable, TRUSTWORTHY broker. You guys put so much time and effort into your excellent DD on stocks and then let everything hinge on a suspect brokerage firm that "might " let you trade if they have no vested interest in a stock or how the trading of that stock is conducted.
Guys (and gals) to put forth that much effort and then let the most important piece of your arsenal, the trade button be your achiles heal is irresponsible.
It could be the difference between dollars and cents.
