Thank-you, Hot, for your posts about Scottrade.  We called several brokers today and some will take them and some will not. Scottrade will. Myself and fours others in our extended family can be added to your count.  We have come to far to get frustrated over little things.  We are all opening accounts with Scottrade with the Certs, and no cash.  No additional costs will be incurred, other than the traditional selling commissions.  Our broker, (TD Ameritrade), will not accept them at this time.  I understand that each firm has to spread their risks in the marketplace. We hope to have everything sent to CDFT by the middle of the week.
