Thanks Mark: fidelity is relatively close. They are penny stock oriented I hope. No lectures : the devil in pennies, should own the big boys.

Now after paying the state fees for current documents and good standing documents. Do you have any tips on finally getting approval to open an account. In the last few years it has been almost impossible for me to open one. S corp being extremely tough.

Now question. As on can assume, I was completely stumped on why a clearing house and a brokerage firm can come up with this 10% nonsense. Unless they are actually not holding your shares anymore, but have loaned them for a fee to say the shorts. Need time to cover your stock. Other than that I don't have a clue. It's supposed to be my stock to sell. seems only I have a problem and I do have a substantional position. Just a guess
