Everything I look at seems to point to a severe downturn in the market and
the economy. Money is flowing into FDIC CDs. Business Week recently had an
article on the lack of liquidity and that there are many bad bank loans. The
charts show a down trending 200 day MA with lower lows and lower highs.
Consumer spending is slowing.

If we have a significant downturn how secure are these various brokers,
particularly the newer inexpensive online brokers with small market caps?
They have insurance but how secure are the companies they use? Could we lose
all of the money that we have in the hands of our brokers?
