I am wondering if it is appropriate for me to ask for my physical stocks so I am safe in the long term. If the wall street looney bin continue this hey we hit bottom capitilism is looking good, how long before the brokers themselves go bellyup and I am left scrambling to find out where are my stocks. I mean come on they have been hiding a lot of information from the public and no one from the Paulson camp really cares. In fact he is leaving after this administrtion. Probably all of them will ,leaving the next administrtion with ahhh what do I do attitude. Meanwhile I don't hear a lot from Washington as Russia gears up to make its presence known in South America. And the rest of the world is just standing on the sidelines waiting for the explosions to go off. But to my original statement should I have my physical stock in hand? Any input would be wonderful. Have a great day.
