If a retail investor agrees to have their shares of FFGO removed from their account, the no longer hold that position in FFGO! PERIOD!
Claims that they would still own or hold that position, once removed, is completely INCORRECT!
"If you allow TDA to remove them from your account, you lose your equity position." No, you do not -- definitely, emphatically, and without qualification. It is nonsense like that which causes people to make bad decisions for the wrong reasons, and there is no reason for anyone to keep insisting on that nonsense as if his own whimsical opinion would override both common and statute law. - medchal
Good Luck!
