Not at all, but I got in last week. I wonder what that implies?

Its a security measure the online brokerages will use in case there is fraud. I have read several articles where hackers front loaded stocks then broke into other accounts and used cash to buy up to dump their shares. So the end result is firms like Scottrade will lock up online trading for a period of usually week. Its a pain in the ass for day traders but doesn't stop anyone from buying if you just call in.

Scottrade has played this game before, just call in your order for shares!
Please contact your local branch about placing an order on this security.

I just put in a small buy order and didn't get rejected. I use Ameritrade. FYI.
