Yes it does that sometimes. It either means there is not a reliable bid, due to low volume, usually meaning people are wanting to buy it at .00009 or lower, because Scott does not like 4 0's. It will also do it with stocks that have normal volume and then get pumped and have like half a bil volume or more the next day, they freeze the stocks for online trade. I have run into both of those problems numerous times. I think my branch is tired of me placing stock orders over the phone, but until they fix it then too bad. An easy way to check is go to the main page and act like you are buying a stock, put in limit and what not then click Review, it will then either tell you that you can not place it online or it will go to the next screen where you can cancel the order or place it.

Any more questions, we are in the chat room during market hours and usually before market hours also. In the Sub Penny room, I will start creating one with the new chat system
