RE:1: 3 consolidationYou can trade your shares online right now.....just be cognizant of the Reverse split and what your holdings are in Real Time.
I have a hard time with this also ....because there is always a time lag before the Transfer Agent updates your portfolio holdings after Reverse Splits / Slits / Name Changes etc........ this is exactly why the trading volume decreases after RS's for a day or two.
I personally feel that this is an unfair advantage tilted in the MM favour.....JMHO.
