Anyone else have a Scottrade account? I called about certs and was assured (on two separate occasions) that I did not need Certs to either receive a dividend from the company or to protect myself against a failure to deliver scenario. Though the shares are held in the street name, I am still the owner of record for the shares and would receive any dividends or would be able to sell any shares in my account as long as the stock remains liquid. I'm going to read the brokerage agreement in detail tonight, but has anyone else been told the same by their broker?
