Sounds like your brokers are being perhaps overly vigilant. I don't know enough to tell you whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, or if you're talking about a particularly wacky investment, but in working with various online brokers (I don't ever work with an individual broker), I have never had a trade rejected because the company wasn't "quality" enough. If my broker wouldn't do what I asked with my money, I'd look for another broker. It's your money -- I think you should be able to do as you like with it, and your broker tries to stop you from making stupid mistakes, which is admirable from most brokers and advisors, they should still let you make those mistakes if you really insist -- especially if you have clearly researched it and aren't just taking a ridiculous flier on a penny stock scam. I don't know of any US brokers who will refuse to trade in any particular listed security, and almost all will also trade in OTC or pink sheet stocks, though they might charge more for that. Hi Jim. Sounds like your brokers are being perhaps overly vigilant. I don’t know enough to tell you whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing, or if you’re talking about a particularly wacky investment, but in working with various online brokers (I don’t ever work with an individual broker), I have never had a trade rejected because the company wasn’t “quality” enough.

It’s your money — I think you should be able to do as you like with it, and your broker tries to stop you from making stupid mistakes, which is admirable from most brokers and advisors, they should still let you make those mistakes if you really insist — especially if you have clearly researched it and aren’t just taking a ridiculous flier on a penny stock scam.

I've tried 2, I am still using the other due "I don't know who"? My problems with both on site brokers. I did quite amount of time researching numerous company, once I did it 90% the way you said in the Water Company. I researched a company, got help, researched it further, got more help and found that there was no way to lose money on it. Its asset value was worth almost 3X it liquidation price. I would actually make a good "take home" money, if the company folded immediately and as I followed the same was true 9 mos. later.The following year that company's stock went up 281% and now is still up but at 421%. My problem is both brokers I have used would not let me buy it because it did not meet the online broker's "stock quality" (or something like that)value. What does that even mean, if it is my money why can't I buy any stock that wanted to buy. Can you explain this to me, please? Thank you, Jim Evans My questions is more about using online brokers more than on stocks in general. I’ve tried 2, I am still using the other due “I don’t know who”?

This is another BUY now as it is at support. A break below 28 would suggest something is wrong, or the stock market around it is crashing. I would exit if it traded below 27. Therefore, the risk is defined.......5 bucks per share.
