I am new to trading and would like some help, It is sort of inregards to what has happend at sonray.

I have a belldirect account - I have money in my account and also two share holdings that I have brought through bell direct - If the same thing happen to bell direct, Would I lose either the cash or the shares ????

Sounds alittle stupid - Just curious, If I should go to a broker like comsec or etrade

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks
