Amy, re account protection: interactivebrokers.com offers a small keyfob gadget that must be used for 'challenge/response' entry of random numbers to authorize any online withdrawals from an account. Even then the withdrawal amount can only be sent to the IB account owners existing bank account or by mail to his/her home address. A bit of a pain to use, but safer. Gottfried

OT - Amy, another area that could be the next 'savings and loan bailout scandal' is the pension arena. Just look at how 'termination value' differs when calculated by the PBGC and any particular company. With the current bankruptcies, the company figure is WAY lower than what the gov't comes up with, and guess what, the taxpayer gets stuck with the bill when the company goes bust. Read an article today about the widow of one of the United 9/11 pilots. Her monetary award for 9/11 was reduced by the size of her husband's pension, then United went bust and the pension will be substantially reduced in size. Meanwhile, before United went bust, top execs put THEIR retirement assets in guaranteed trusts, which when discovered, caused the resignation of the CEO. What a crock. Big Biz in bed with Congress.
