Protecting your assetsMaybe Eric, who reads these blogs will push for DRS (direct registration shares). Or maybe he "trusts" the system (brokerages and Cede &co) not going upside down and confiscating your "on behalf of" STREET shares. I really do feel DRS would give me protection ( both against inflation & financial collapse) and shares would now be as safe as physical. German investors survived WW2 is they has DRS shares ( but hitler lost). I figure a desperate empire, will use war and confiscation of physical on their way down the financial pecking order. So DRS might even be safer than physical. I'm surprised Discovery Silver doesn't have it as an investor program.
