I know this has been brought up by others who deal with etrade, but this restriction they have placed on ptsc requiring one to place an order only broker assisted and not on-line is nonsense. They say ptsc has been placed on trader review. Well, as many of you know.....it has been there for a year or more. To be quite honest I am suspicious and suspect there is more to this than restricting on line trading for reasons like volatility or corporate action. This time I was furious with them and demanded an answer as to why this is so. Answer.....I do not know and I cannot connect you to anybody who can give you an answer. Waitng on hold etc., just frustrated to the max! I know, use another broker. I will, but my point is etrade will not even tell you why they are being so concerned. A one year + and still pending review.....They must think they are the PTO. Sorry for the rant and taking up board space. I wonder though, if Patriot IR knows of this situation and would be curious enough to check it out. That is my next move. Have a good night. Oh, have a good afternoon to those on the left coast!
