Nope.  Etrade in the runup to 2008 was taking your money and 'investing' it.  Not just your cash, but your physical securities.  They had to be bailed out.

### REPLY:
I’m talking about shares, and a brokerage using your equity ownership as collateral for other activities would fuck the brokerage and creditors/those on the other side of those activities. Do they have agency to cause 
 loss of your equity ownership?
