There seems to be nothing nefarious going on with

There seems to be nothing nefarious going on with Fidelity and BLTA. Here's the situation. Fidelity updates their system with the information from this website (below). Just enter BLTA in the top left. It shows (top right - STOP no information). Now, enter other stock symbols to see the difference. If a stock shows 'STOP', then Fidelity prohibits buying. This is due (from what the rep said) to a delay in Baltia's reporting. And, this 'STOP' was placed within the past couple of days. They will release the hold as soon as the company updates their filings and it's reported on this otc markets site. Apparently, this happens from time-to-time with other companies and it's nothing to worry about, but it's a nuisance. Papa- it sounds like Tony and the execs are well aware of this?

The good news is that there will be quite a few BUY orders ready to go when the STOP is removed...hopefully by early next week.
