NASD tells Ameritrade to stop cash-less client trades
(Reuters 08/30 11:07:41)

NEW YORK, Aug 30 (Reuters) - Securities regulators have
told Ameritrade Holding Corp. <AMTD.O> to stop letting its
clients buy stocks without having the actual cash in their
accounts to pay for them, the online brokerage said in a
regulatory filing on Friday.
Ameritrade customers with cash accounts were allowed to
sell shares and then use the proceeds to buy other stocks, even
before the sales settled and they received cash.
The National Association of Securities Dealers notified the
Omaha, Nebraska-based company on Aug. 22 that this violated
NASD regulations, Ameritrade said in a filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Ameritrade said it is working with the NASD, which oversees
U.S. brokerages and investment banks, to ensure its policies
are compliant with securities rules.
Ameritrade shares were up a penny at $3.65 in trading on
the Nasdaq, below their 52-week high of $7.27.
