My Brother has(or as it turns out had) 13,000 shares in ETrade. He just found out his shares were liquidated because that is apparently "company policy" for ETrade. They did this even though he gave no order to do so.
I immediately contacted TDAmeritrade to verify my 45,000 were still there and then sent a message to customer services instructing them to leave the shares as they were and where they were.
Just a heads up for everyone that you may want to verify your shares are still where you think they were.
