It's not just capital protection. I cringe at the boiler-plate in the acct paperwork that says I give the house the right to "pledge, hypothecate, re-hypothecate and invest in THEIR investings, with no interest or dividends payable to me" giving them the right to steal and lose MY money (as if I needed any help with that!), ala Corzine's explanation. He didn't steal it. It says right there in the acct docs tha the could do such plunder....

I'm just looking to see if there are any houses that don't have that in their docs. I'd rather not have to deal with that episode again.
