geopic that is right - a Shareholders Certificate DEED of Ownership - is from no cost and up to fiat$50/certificate - (if $50 is to much for someone - they should NOT be in any stock-trading,imo)
Shareholders Certificate - its an owner insurance (often a must, imo) against ex... 666 manipulations, fraud, robbery, plunder, corruption, broker-. bankruptcy, chapter 11, etc. -
if the broker don't fulfill the demand from the shareholder - (without a run around) -
the owner shareholder should report it to The Security Commission a.s.a.p. imo!!!
Note. ex... day-traders often prefer their ownership in street name - and Long Term Traders prefer their Certificate DEED of Ownership into their own name -
