I was going to answer you, but I decided against it.
Now it's your turn to do a DD on what I have been saying. I did and surprised several veteran stockbrokers who've been in the business more than thirty years each.
Each of them have been taught to do things a certain way. I use my life experiences to do things the way I would do them, in spite of others being taught the incorrect way.
Hopefully, I will get back my stock and transfer it to another broker.
Yes, it is expensive, but they have already saved me many thousands of dollars.
