That is a broker passing on fees due to them not being able settle and clear easily. It is a free country if you don't like the fees charged get a new broker. There is nothing whatsoever that requires a broker to allow you to buy or sell all stocks.

In some cases (what a coincidence!) when a trader/investor bought a stock it was DTC-eligible, then right after that it becomes NON-DTC eligible. That's changing the rules in middle of the friggin game. Still don't get it? That's a friggin scam.

If a stock has suspicious trading activity or is a proven fraud, the SEC can issue a trading halt/suspension.
NO STOCK should trade on physical certificates anymore, heck this is 2011, it is absurd.

Or would you mind submitting trades on morse code using smoke signals and hiring interpreters to justify the cost of trades? :-)
