You are right. Patience. It is the power we have. I think Gappa has it right on why Etrade jumped in. You don't have to have the DTC to trade a stock, but it is much much cheaper per share clearing it through them. To trade 100 shares of a $50 stock manually probably costs the same as trading 100 shares of a sub-penny stock. We commonly trade at least 100,000 at a time.
I have settled into a strange and peaceful calm on this investment. I think I have enough info now. I feel good about the risk and am way past dumping due to emotion. I want to see the end of the ride...
The only regret is not being able to buy more now. I hate to open yet a fourth account...but maybe I will. I have an old fidelity account I could re-activate....
IMO, the only ones responsible for this are the management of IPWG. The only ones who claimed they were getting 375m and did not deliver is them. You can wish all you want, but at some point you need to wake up and smell the coffee. What are you going to do move from broker to broker until they all freeze it? Then what?
