OT: I know it's not the weekend, but I've been thinking about how
the on-line brokers are now launching ways for folks to use their
equities to finance property, rather than seeing their customers liquidate appreciating positions.

Fidelity now has two new programs, one geared for those who want to help a family member buy a home, and one for everyone else.

If interested, check out: personal.fidelity.com

According to Fidelity, "It may be a smart financial vehicle if you believe the earning potential in your investments outweighs your mortgage financing costs."

Why sell the Q when you can pledge shares instead? Does anyone know if any on-line (Merrill not included) brokers offer something like this?

Thoughts appreciated.
