Tom,

Now that you mention it, it makes sense that you can't take possession of your stock certificates within an IRA. 87% of my net worth is in IRAs. It would be a huge step to take all those distributions. I am not that scared yet (actually not scared at all), BWDIK.

It might be a potential problem if your broker was Citi or Merrill or Bear Stearns, but do E*trade, Scottrade, or Ameritrade have in-house groups that would hold large amounts of toxic debt in their own name?
