Key of Moreno Valley, California, writes: </DIV> <BR /></EM> Marilyn: You published a letter from a woman who deposited $200,000 into a savings account at a bank and then had an investment counselor at that bank convince her to move the money into a "supposedly safe" stock account.  (May 31, 2009) The stock account then fell in value to $139,000. This is an example of why I dislike the government's allowing savings banks to get into the stock-brokering business. Some people assume that the FDIC insurance on their savings accounts at banks also carries over to the banks' stock accounts, but the stocks are in fact uninsured.  <STRONG> </STRONG> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> </DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/703CC3A1-FC31-423E-A731-38EC8B7000F6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
