Jim Sinclair made that comment on his blog over a year ago about waking into any brokerage house in the world to cash a stock certificate.
The U.S. goverment moved quickly as of january to close off sending stock certificates to the owners. I have the bulk of my shares in a stock certificate, as i posted last Spring, I tried to get more of my Silverado shares in another stock certificate, that was when I learned of the Governments move.
