I've thought about this: It would be crazy mailing billions of shares out - and so I don't think they would let you do this. No Brokerage would do it - we're just people and they won't do it. The only alternative I can think of is if some of us where rich enough to start our own brokerage firm, then I think we could physically have ownership of the stocks that we traded but it would require acerages of warehouse to hold it all. I've thought about this alot, but this would force the market into a panic and we'd probably all get arrested. Isn't that funny - they would arrest us for "manipulating" the market by causing stock prices to shoot through the roof and we'd be the ones doing the only honorable thing. Like it or not, the SEC hates volatility and would rather kill a stock then allow the price to shoot through the roof and have brokerage firms which are holding the FTD's (failure-to-deliver or counterfeit) stocks purchases to go under. Maybe one day when we are all rich we can fix the system, but right now we are Joe Small and so we'll have to wait and strategize...
