Stupid question alert: 1. Apparently, it's possible to buy stock directly from a company, bypassing a brokerage account. Is that practical? The benefit is avoiding a brokerage fraud? I know about SIPC. 2. If you buy a stock directly from a company how do you prove ownership?
What happens when @Vanguard_Group @Vanguard_FA lends its customers' securities to an entity shorting the stock and that entity goes bust?

Highly unlikely.. the lending market is cornered by few major firms, lenders can recall at any moment, and regulation T calls are not played with. I don’t trust banks either. But,you simply cannot take part in the financial syst./equities without exposing yourself to some risk.
