They know they are going to lose a ton of equity in the next week and are dragging it out as long as possible, in my opinion. Demand the highest manager you can get, all the way up the line. They are your stocks and you should be able to do with them as you wish, when you wish. If it takes regulatory complaints then that is what we need to do. The RMIL halt has me in kind of a bind so I have not run into this with them yet but the above is how I would handle it. Worse case, if the stocks are long holds, you could get them transferred normally. If they are short holds, you could sell them at Farsight and wire out or write a check out for the cash. If they are more than 5K shares of short term holds, those are the ones that would be a priority to DTC to NDB for me.

Gary, I got the same BS message from Farsight. DId you call yet? I was away all week and wanted this done when I returned, but I returned to see this message! I do not want to do a normal transfer, it takes 30 days or so. This is rediculous. I tried to DTC less than 1/2 of the account, but I did want 100% of some stocks transferred. Seems stupid to transfer 1/2 of a stock, unless you do it to keep the shares under 5,000. I will call monday and complain, I am furious. Ryan
