There is an issue with Etrade Pro's Java Garbage Collection process. When the files build up and memory is not set properly, it freezes. It's like temp files. I'll post the Java tweak later to help others.
I had the same problem with CDRB a couple of weeks ago, I called Etrade and the representive told me that Etrade is trying to protect my account. I asked how? he responded Etrade is trying to block investors from buying or shorting penny stocks for security reasons. I'm thinking of going to TD Ameritrade.
If anyone has freezing with Etrade Pro, I used this Java tweak to fix the Garbage Collection issues. For Java 7 or earlier: java -Xmx4000m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -d64
Java 8 may have changed some of the commands so read the documentation http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/vmoptions-jsp-140102.html

if you read about the company and dont feel comfortable, ask yourself why is it unsettling you, and you will find your answer. Regards!
Sell it or take a small loss. Believe me it is the only way to succeed trading. Someone in my family has been holding a stock he has felt uncertain about for years. It now trades at .22 cents and his cost was over 5.00. Losing money is bad enough but losing your confidence is far worse.
Woah lol wtf. Talk about stubborn. Hell he could have taken the loss years ago and made the money back tenfold by now. @rtradingstrategies
IF you haven't already get out.

Yeah I never hold through earnings. Made a similar play with Apple on their earnings date.
