Check your rating of your brokerage account

The Street: E*Trade in Free Fall

I have an account with interactive brokers and it has a rating of BBB which is slightly concerning.

I have yet to check other brokers that trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and compare.

Anyone one with any recommendations of what broker to switch to?

"Bhatia says that 50%, or $15 billion, of E*Trade deposits are over $100,000, the upper limit on an account that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. insures."

Yep here's another run comin' !
