it was originally scheduled to become effective in oct 2010 .. suspect the whiners *whined* .. new deadline was then pushed out to feb 28th 2011 ..
suggestion for all .. there are links to both finra and the sec in the ibox
this info came up from a search of the sec (for some reason i was thinking nov 2010 was the original deadline .. but i read so many blurbs from both finra and the sec and most of the time it's like reading tax code)
i'd also strongly suggest folks contact finra directly at the phone no. listed in the link re: specific questions
calls eventually are returned .. and if info isn't known initially .. answers are sought from the appropriate end .. it may take a while but it's worth it imo depending on the nature of the question .. it took me over a year to finally get a *consistent* answer out of the sec re: FTDS being MIA on certain OTC co.s .. turns out they exist all right .. they just don't have to be reported
