As I said gtv:

Not sure why you are having or indicating this issue. I also have E-trade and I've had no problem with HMGP certificates being re-deposited into my E-trade account. This is as recent as last week. Process was very easy and quick.

I tried again and it doesn't look good so far.

Here's last time and this time so far...




The guy at eTrade talked to me a bit more on Tuesday. Basically explained that in most situations the risk is that eTrade thinks that the certificate may be a fake. He also said it doesn't go well when you don't have a lot in your portfolio. I have a couple of turds (my past mistakes that I keep there so I remember to not be so stupid in the future) with eTrade plus my hmgp shares so basically just hmgp.

So basically he put it that if you are a little fish they could care less.

So I called the customer service rep that I talked to last month and let her know that I put them back in and she left me a message saying that she'll see what she can do. I sent a customer service message too in regards to the transaction since they were so quick last month and here's the response I got:

"Thank you for your inquiry regarding your recent deposit on 153,000 shares of Hemi Energy Group (HMGP). As of 03/19/2008 the shares are pending validation with the transfer agent. Once the shares are verified they will be available in the account. If the shares can be verified we can accept them. Unfortunately with certain securities it is more difficult to verify shares. This occurs most frequently in shares traded Over-the-Counter securities. I truly apologize for any inconvenience. Please allow 3-5 business days."

So basically with how fast they were last time (they were back on my doorstep on 02/20) I'm thinking I'll have my cert back tomorrow afternoon when the UPS truck swings by. Then I'll be finding a new broker and they'll have to take a paper loss to sell my turds to pay for their quarterly service fee and shut down my account. LOL

So, not really any clues as to them not really liking hmgp, just that they think that the cert they sent me might be a fake. lol Took me 2 minutes when I got my cert to call the TA and verify it.
