Yes, to get paper certificates for shares is hard lately, they all want to operate wit I owe you's.

I'm going with Fidelity. $8 per trade. You get 100 or 200 trades free, deepens if you transfer more or less than 100k. They have international trading also. So I will be able to transfer my portfolio as it is, with US Dollars and Canadian Dollars. Then I will be able to trade direct on Canadian stock exchange just like at IB. Will be $20 cad per trade though. One good thing, I can trade warrants, that I couldn't with IB.

And they don't use my money as colateral for re-hypothecation. Good enough for me. Until whole finacial system breaks down. Then I guess we will all lose everything what is paper related

IB's hyper-hypothecation - Seems like this is an issue based on the MF Trading fiasco causing some on this board to move to other brokers.How can one find brokers that are "safer" and are there others beside Fidelity
that can be "trusted"? How about TDAmeritrade & Schwab? I was burnt by TDAmeritrade on the Reserve Funds fiasco and not sure I want to hand them much of my money.
