Umm please define this, and let us know once you have called the new TA...
a gagged TA is an action by a company... Call up the TA and see what they say when you ask them if the company put a "gag" on them..
Or i could save you some trouble, as they will say no... It is simply our policy not to give out share counts... this is a fairly common practice however for some reason it upsets you.
