I figured you were in buying mode, Brian. good call. The thing is, even if everyone complains to ATrade, it could take weeks or months until they change their policy. Scottrade ceased buy orders for several months, but they are allowing buy orders again. Your best bet to guarantee you get these low prices is to get a Zecco account right away, which many people have done here. If you wait for Ameritrade, the pps might be considerably higher by then.
