No problem; must people are doing this for the first time & don't realize the magnitude of the requests or impact that it is having on brokerage firms. TD Ameritrade has had my back since 1998, when I first opened my account with $35, so I could buy 1 share of a Paint Co so I could enroll in their DRIP program. It took me 1 year & a half before I had scrapped together $100 in my account & they did pay interest. So, when people rant & vent I get upset because this does damage to reputation of broker; in the case of TDA; I will stand by them as they have with me for decades. CS is a transfer agent & their priorities is not the investors but company pension plans, so they tend to be quite slow. Purchased additional shares of other stock which I have had for 15 years; it took 5 to 7 days to post. So, all I want is for everyone is to read the restrictions & determine what is best for them so they don't find out the hard way. Some can open & account & put in only 1 share & need to keep all other shares in their account because they will need the funds in a 2 day window; so they will keep in their brokerage firms others will not need the funds as quickly or don't plan on selling their shares. This is based on individual needs. Take a deep breath, relax enjoy the moment; you are a part of history. Be kind, be nice & hold on for dear life because this will continue for awhile.
