from Zeninvestor :))) JUST AMAZING

Just amazing how bashers will spin a one-sided market where you can sell but can't buy into anything and everything but what it most obviously is -- A NEED BY THE MMS TO BUY SHARES FROM THEIR CLIENTS AND NOT SELL THEM TO THEIR CLIENTS. LOL How much more simple does it get??? And yet here they are saying things like "it's to protect investors from buying cmkx". I'm beyond hysterical on this one. Right, because MLON where the CEO was forced by the sec to fess up on his outright lying 100% on EVERYTHING is a WONDERFUL stock for Ameritrade to let its investors scoop up. LOLOLOLOL Since when did brokerage firms decide which pink sheets are and aren't "worth protecting investors from"??????? Newsflash: That's the SEC's job.

No, this is HIGHLY unusual behavior IMO and anyone trying to spin this otherwise imo has an agenda. It is what it is. SOMEONE is buying because now we're only allowed to SELL. And WHY are MMs BUYING when their reps are telling their very own clients that it's all to "protect" you???????

BTW, Janice Shell's answer of "because they're obligated to" along with her fluff around that was the evening's true comic highlight.
