"Robin, Spot on question.....researching broker's consolidated financial statements...securities lending, resale and repurchase and concentration of risk paragraphs are in the two major brokers i have accounts with. Asking around to find a broker who isn't doing the back room thing with client's stock or with any derivatives exposure. Anyone with any leads in this area, info much appreciated. Listened to John Williams/Shadowstats saturday on Jim Pulplava < financialsense.com >..... not sleeping so well. Dave" Thanks Dave, if you find something, please post...I have a feeling that there are very few brokers today that will keep your assets separate..it has been too long since we have had to worry about such an issue.
