I have seen many... and though I can't confirm them, I do believe they received it... only to have it taken away

[beerclark]

I have a Scottrade account and I received the dividend on 3/31/09

They took it out of the account on 4/24/09 with the description "ANVIRON HOLDING COMPANY COM CANCEL 03/31 DIVIDEND DUE TO NON- RECEIPT OF FUNDS PER AGENT"

Since we are on this subject, I did write Scottrade about the 'Lock' yesterday. Here is my email and below is their response.



I have the stock ANVH in my account.

I was notified of a Clearing Restriction and a "No But / No Sell" for this stock. In additiona, in "My Positions", ANVH is in paranthesis.

I know that this stock had alledgedly issued a dividend that was in my acount, then rescinded shortly thereafter. I also understand this action was beyond Scottrade's control.

Can you explain what is causing the restriction? Is it directly related to the dividend?

I did search the Scottrade website and I could not find details on Clearing Restrictions and No Buy/No Sell. So I would also like to know what would need to happen to lift the restrictions.

Lastly (if the answers to the above don't answer this), in the future, if I own a stock that becomes fully restricted. Is there any course of action I can take to liquidate the stock during the restriction? Or is the position simply considered $0 for value during the restriction?

Thanks in advance for any response.

To me it reads like a generic answer to a lot of different types of questions.

I had received a dividend in my etrade account. Purchased more ANVH shares with the dividend, a week or so later I have a negative balance in my account the same amount as the dividend paid. So yes this actually has happened.

Better get those glasses out and read a bit better LOT more than one! I had my dividend paid and took out of my account about 30 days later…
