A friend, who I've steered toward buying TSLA, has been jumping through hoops trying to get his broker to set up an account he can trade without having to call an agent each time. It has been weeks now, going through the motions of allegedly their writing a check and snail-mailing it between the two internal divisions of the company to accomplish this. (Prudential maybe?) I've told him from the get-go that he should move his money to Fidelity, Schwab, TD, or any broker that won't take weeks to process something this straight-forward.
He's been getting quite anxious lately, hoping they will get it done while the Blue Light Special sale is going on.
This morning I sent him a message saying they must be getting close, because the SP is going up.
Was that cruel?
