They actually do. About five or six years ago, someone hacked my eTrade acct and I got trade confirmations coming in. By the time I finished the short email I was working on, intending to call eTrade, they called me at work noting the suspicious trades which also included margin borrowing. I was impressed. We got everything squared away in less than thirty minutes and put double authentication on my account. I also found them very helpful when rolling over a number of my 403b accounts after I retired. Rolling over a 403b is like pulling teeth, especially if there is an incompetent or indifferent H.R. dept at your former employer as was the case of my next to last employer which was a state college. Plus the state retirement system also had to put in their two cents worth. And VALIC kept misplacing the paperwork. Took me eight months to complete the process.

Just for kicks, I did try to place a buy on BOXS on Monday, and they would not let it go through. I wish they would let us sign a waiver and be on our own. Besides being trained as a financial planner, I've been doing this for over 25 years, so I know what I'm doing and know the associated risks.
