/drs/Never forget 2021: forced stop-losses and disabled buy buttons on IOU brokers

Anyone who traded through January 2021 remembers what happened on IOU apps:

- Buy buttons turned off while institutions loaded up
- Automatic 'Stop Loss' and 'Take Profit' triggers silently attached to non-leveraged cash purchases on eToro
- Zero ability to move your position to a real broker via ACATS

Why wait for the next circuit-breaker halt to find out your broker only sold you a contract for difference? Serious brokers like Charles Schwab, Interactive Brokers (IBKR), Fidelity, and direct registration in Computershare exist for a reason.

I still have screenshots of eToro forcing stop-losses on cash accounts in 2021. Never trusting an IOU app again.

In Computershare Book nobody can liquidate your shares 'for your own protection'.

Moved my equities to Schwab + DRS and my $$DOGE to a Ledger. Total peace of mind.
