I'm curious to know, what sort of implications would arise if ETrade, a well-known brokerage firm, were to cease operations? How would this affect the investments and trading accounts of their clients? Would there be a way to access and transfer those assets to another platform? And most importantly, what precautions should investors take to protect themselves from such a scenario?
