I understand that the certificate route is best. What I am saying is they have made it digital and the posibility that they have paper option is slim to none, unless by a glitch in their system they can't make it digital.
Can I trust this digital process and follow it the same as the paper certificate plan me and you have discussed? I mean is it the same thing only digital?
Effective January 1, 2009, E*TRADE and other broker-dealers will no longer be able to fulfill paper certificate requests due to an SEC regulation change. Instead E*TRADE will default paper certificate requests to electronic registration directly with the transfer agent using the Direct Registration System (DRS) built by the Depositor Trust Clearing Corporation (DTCC) and the industry Transfer Agents.
