And to everyone directly asking friedcat when the platform will be released, he states that very thing in his very last post. The 28th.
You sure about that? I just re-read his last announcement post (and haven't seen another since) as all it says is to stop trading during the 28th so it doesn't clash with dividend payments. I see nothing about the trading platform going online then - and seems I'm not the only one who isn't seeing that anywhere.
