why no comments about the end of ethanol subsidies...when they where renewed it was shouts of joy...now we just hide from reality?

Before one accuses others of avoiding reality one should have a grasp of reality:


As the WSJ added, though the vote was a signal moment, it's far from a done deal. The House has to weigh on the matter and the White House isn't exactly on board.

President Obama won Iowa, the nation's largest growing state, in 2008 as well as Minnesota, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio which are other major producers.

With his 2012 re-election race expected to be challenging because of the disappointing economic recovery, Obama isn't exactly itching to antagonize thousands of people with ethanol-related incomes across the corn belt.

Besides even if, the good ones are making money even before the government money.

Why can't I purchase GERS stock? I am trying to use Ameritrade but it says opening positions cannot be started...

USAA, Ameritrade and several others think that it is too risky for them to allow trading in GERS due to DTC restrictions. There are brokerages that take the risk such as Scottrade. The problem is that the purchased stock may not be "delivered." I am not sure what that means but that is what USAA has told me, and they are adamant about not allowing trading in GERS. Not a good image for a company trying to shed the specter of its history.

USAA and Ameritrade trade on an electronic platform. They're the only brokers I'm aware of that can't complete the buy orders of GERS because GERS is trading physical certificates only at this time. Ameritrade can't get physical shares because their platform only trades electronically. Scottrade and other brokers can. Scottrade is cheaper with less restrictions and no minimum fees. A friend of mine had Ameritrade and they sold off all of his shares for $.0001 because he didn't have any extra cash in his account to cover Ameritrades fees.

It's not that these brokers think GERS is too risky of an investment, that has nothing to do with it. The risk is that these two brokers can't get the shares if they allow you to buy them. They'll get in trouble for selling shares they can't deliver.

Slash,

Does that explain why the DTCC has placed GERS on the restricted trading list? Remember, about six months ago GERS acknowledged these restrictions and stated that they were cooperating with the DTCC in their efforts to have them removed. Based upon my discussions with USAA these restrictions have not been lifted. This may the same or a collateral issue. In any event you would agree that it would be better for GERS if these issue(s) were resolved as GERS attempts to reinvent its credibility.

New USAA position on GERS --

Thank you for following up with us. Please be aware that beginning June 24, 2011, USAA is implementing a change in policy relating to certain microcap stocks. The change is being made because microcap stocks often offer little to no oversight and stockholders might not be receiving accurate information about companies. The lack of transparency with microcap stocks means there is greater potential for fraudulent schemes, which affect stock prices and investors' returns. Thus, for USAA to continue fulfilling our duty of due diligence to our clients, we are changing the ways we handle transactions for certain microcap securities.

What's changing? On June 24, 2011, we will classify microcap stocks as restricted or limited.

Restricted - Only sell orders will be accepted for restricted stocks. Additionally, orders for restricted stocks will only be available through our trading representatives, not through usaa.com.

Limited - Orders to buy or sell limited stocks may or may not be available on usaa.com, depending on whether the stock trades at less than $5 per share, the number of shares in a specific trade, and the total dollar-amount of the order. If a trade cannot be placed online, investors will be instructed to call an investment representative.

I have confirmed Greenshift Corporation is categorized at a limited stock. Based on the number of shares you currently own, any future sell orders after the 24th will likely have to be entered by phone with one of our trading representatives. Please know that a broker assisted commission rate would apply. You may review our broker assisted commission rates within usaa.com. Also, USAA limits the commission at 5% of the principal amount of trades, so your commission would not exceed this amount.
