Anyone with ideas what happens when a brokerage goes into bankruptcy? What are SPIC protectd- options? funds, stocks, bonds? How long does it take to recover? When are the positions valued - at the moment of filing bankruptcy or when the cash is being paid out? What are the tax consequences?

I have an etrade acct that I had been meaning to transfer out :(
