The SIPC replaces your securities up to a limit of $500,000 in value per customer. Additionally a max of $100,000 is replaced. Tell ya what. Just pay the $75 transfer fee to go to another broker. Do you really want to be stuck in a position of trust?
Nothing. You are still listed as the real or beneficial owner even though they are held in street name by Eturd. This is the only answer that can and should give you comfort. But you may want to switch b/d's for added peace of mind.
