I think the company holding will be more difficult to get sorted out, seeing that I cant even get my account number out of AST
So....Commsec and their international broker pershing came through with the goods...I got my holding transfered to the pershing account and I sold them last night our time for US$9.12 a share not a huge amount of shares involved but at least I got roughly a third of what I paid for the old BTA shares in total...so a 60% loss...on world leading science...what an alround cluster
I can at least now claim a capital loss and close the books on this account
At least my shorting through my CFD account worked and made me nearly two grand our money AUD's that is, on top of what I got from selling the vaxart script
So if you have a commsec account and complete a w8ben form and manage to get your account number from AST and then wait the best part of a month...you should be in luck...and there was no fee from commsec and pershing for doing all the work...which was a few emails and a phone call because of the wrong account number given by AST so a big thumbs up to commsec, seeing as no other broker would touch any holding under the $10k mark by the looks of things
Anyway...will try to sort out the companies holding now
Wishing you all the best getting your holding back Brian
stay safe everyone
cheers grant
