The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So, dummy question but I'd like the answer. I always forget what the answer is, so best I keep asking. Maybe one day it will sink in and I hope everytime I do ask, another innocent investor learns something, too.

But with the value of our shares growing steadily over the years, how many accounts do you need to hold your shares? If 500K is the SIPC limit and the additional insurance worded vaguely, should I be splitting up my IRA account that holds over 500K?

Advice?

Thank you in advance.
