Hi Skeeter,

>> my brokerage, pt discount, was shut down by the sec. <<

Glad to hear you didn't lose any money. My account at Q&R, if I remember correctly, has insurance to guarantee my assets up to 50 million (about 1000 times more than I need <G>); I do believe there were troubles with smaller brokerage bankruptcies at the '87 crash and series of law suites.
