Hi, I have a question I'd like to put out there . . .

As a stock holder and Investment Club "president", do I need
to protect myself from a broker stealing my (our) stock?
Meaning, if (for some reason) my broker or my
online account suddenly showed that there was NOTHING in my
account, what legal recourse do I have to get it back?

Thanks!

Jason,

The National Association of Security Dealers describes how
to handle fraud on their website:

You should probably make sure your broker is a member of the
NASD and that your account is covered under the Security
Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC):

It is felony when someone takes your money or stock. Any
reputable company will help you investigate the
disappearance and will probably get the police involved
immediately.
