I would also like to bring up, while you are holding your certs. They are not updated with any happenings of the stock. You never know what will happen with a company. Lets say they have a name change, symbol change. Which is supose to happen here with going to the amex. You are holding certs under the old name, you send them in and you have to wait till they get updated I would think. Also say you have these certs and you stash them away, forget about them, don't tell your family of their existance and its years till they surface or maybe never do. But during that time HEMI is sold, maybe two times over. Staying with the broker if you have a full service one of integerity may be the best place to be.
