Question for those who know -

I have a position in SCON bought at 10. Small position but pleased with the results. Sold a little today to recoup my initial purchase. Bought some CDTS Thursday. Looking at ISCO, I see it is a BB stock. Never traded a BB stock. Here are my questions

1) Can these be bought and sold online through a broker. They are a step above 'pink sheet' stocks, right? I use Waterhouse and Datek. Stock quotes at Datek show 15/16 and 500 shares, makes no sense. They show zero activity on their streamer. Waterhouse shows stock as N/A. Etrade shows the correct value and traded quantity.

2) Margin is ruled out for BB stocks, right?

Appreciate any insight regarding BB stocks. I know they are riskier than Nasdaq SC and NM stocks and why I have avoided but I would only consider using a small amount of my stock cash to purchase, although I think I am too late for the run on ISCO.

I also was leery of the conversion terms on the loans, thanks for the clarifications. They should have set a threshold test for conversion in the loan terms - say convert at 50% of the share price on conversion date, but minimum of 25 cents or something. Not just a flat out quarter per share. Boy they must have been hardup for a dime at the time. What a change.

Thanks
Buck
