Investorman - blaming e*trade is a novel argument though... BTW what is this debate about and does it really make a difference....Some of it is interesting...LOL!
!!!! ALL THOSE holders of the 144 shares were CLIENTS of E-TRADE. E-TRADE would be the ones to FILE THE PAPER WORK on behalf of their clients and to notify the NAsdaq of their release. And IT WOULD SEEM by the PR THAT WHEN the 144 forms didn't go through the transfer agent since HRCT is the one to verify their release, not the transfer agent. Or to be technical the transfer agent would ahave to get PERMISSION FROM HRCT to release them, which we no didn't happen. I'm not boring you am I ?
