To me my brokerages are safe. You cant directly withdraw funds out of them. Has to go into a bank acct which is with each broker. Actually you can request a check but that takes a week and I would know immediatly. I also know immediatly if some tries to change anything related to my accts. I most worried about someone getting one of my checks and getting the acct and routing # and transferring money that way. I try to keep the balance low and put in/out of broker.
