So if you execute a trade, sell 100 shares of ATPX that you bought yesterday for $1.50 at market for $15.00 who eats the mistake? The broker? The clearing house? Or will the account be adjusted, forcing the wily investor to cover for the ineptitude of the broker/clearing house?

Roger:
That mysterious company to which you refer is the Depository Trust Corp, or also known as Cede & Co., or the Federal Reserve. Not well known, but all shares held in street name must be issued by the company (LUNN) to Cede & Co. as a single certificate, then redistributed to the clearinghouses by Big Uncle DTC.
Interesting isn't it.
