With some good news and upward movement, even Scottrade will relent at some point. They are not the only online broker in town! The interest will really pick up when gold moves. I have no crystal ball, but the elections are muddying the waters. There is no white knight on the horizon for this economy (I cringe to read the real stories being told) = gold & silver up!
Yes,its a bad sign no matter what anyone else says. My experience with scottrade indicates they know when something smells like a duck. No one can say that this tock does not seem like a scam. Give me proof otherwise.
