I have been, it is their product and yet they are not reporting such crucial trading information regarding their securities.

No response, I think they need more coaxing to include such information regarding their product. In some cases it has cost shareholders as high as $480 that I have documented for pass through fees. Nowhere is such a warning given on their website, amazing their unsolicited quote warning gets displayed but no such warning that such a non DTC eligible security may not also be difficult to trade but could cost you substantial fees.

The Global Locks have shown another problem, buying OTC securities via an IRA could be a permanent issue, if that security is Globally Locked you cannot remove it from your account and IRA accounts maybe smart to avoid taxes upfront....... But you cannot ditch the security once it is globally locked, so you not only get a wonderful reminder in your portfolio of a financial failure it costs you a monthly account maintenance fee for it. So a trade loss plus costing you money every month until it is removed...yikes!

Some of the Brokerages, notably TDA, are chilling buy orders on some stocks, possibly or likely because of their own Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and their Risk Management Controls.

There appears to be a disconnect between the Brokerages chilling buy orders but apparently not relaying the info to the SEC, Finra, the OTC, and particularly the DTCC. Maybe they are....danged if anyone knows.

There was supposed to be a repository database for ALL gatekeepers to input SARs and to access all the other gatekeepers' SARs.

After two or more SARs on a stock the SEC said they would get involved. Maybe they have, but the SEC is missing more scams than they're stopping.
