Sounds like we need to speak directly to managment then, when we call, so they are aware ASAP and see if they give us the same "go ahead and leave attitude"?

I just dont get it. I think somebody may have already brought this up, but darnit I just dont get it. Does a broker house have somesort of additiona expense or risk by letting us trade BB and penny stocks? Do they not think that we all communicate with each other? I mean SI is the reason I found Farsight and I have been HIGHLY recommending it. They will loose a hell of allot of $10 (and I could be happy with $20) dollar hits from us penny people. They add up quick and penny traders are more prone to trade very frequently vs blue chip people.....It just doesnt make sense to me. I transfered most my holding from Amerihell (ameritrade) to farsight, now I will have to transfer them back I suppose. For the record Ameritrade is ok, they are not so good if you want to request your Certs. I actually caught them in a couple of bold face lies to me be, but aside from that an if you do penny stock a long hold time they are ok. I just dont like that you cant trade pennies on line or get accurate account status when BB's are in your portfolio.
