Just got off the phone w/ET they are sending me a letter stating this reason for not getting a cert:

There is a chill on BCIT,that means we cannot get your cert in street name due to the fact that the T/A can not release them because of the chill.

Fun!!!

Hope the letter makes more sense then the guy on the phone.

"global lock" infers that they cannot provide certs as the security is "non-transferable" while under a global lock. If you can get certs more power to you, but I guarantee you won't. the global lock provides all brokers with the excuse that they cannot provide certs. it also ensures that the stock will not trade outside of any ex-clearing. BOD of DTCC is made up of execs from major brokerage houses. collusion?
