So you can put them in offshore accounts and pay no taxes That would be a good reason

I get the physical quite often . The only reason I do this is to transfer PP shares or seed stock into my account . My brokerage has not got a clue how to handle small lots of 10 to 25,000 shares. So I get the physical mailed to me and transfer via my bank . I also did this with my last full service broker , The guy pissed me off enough that I had him send me the physical , which I then moved into another account . I got 20 g sitting in the account and wanted to turn it over into some PP paper . The jerk was not willing to bother looking and instead told me about their web site and any PP that the brokerage was handling would show up there . I have better luck knocking on doors on Howe street digging through Cc's website. ralfphie
