The Dude | Money that's just sitting in your brokerage account, is it FDIC insured? |
when it's not being invested & just sitting there |

And just to confuse you more, my brokerage has several options for sweep funds, including and FDIC insured account. SO the answer is it depends on both your brokerage and on the options you chose when you set up your account. |

If you don't hold any current positions in stocks then don't worry it's insured by the SIPC up to $500,000.
However if you hold any securities they are not covered, only the money idle in your brokerage account is covered. |

No it isn't. Only accounts at banks are FDIC insured. |

Depends what it is sitting in. Most likely your money is in a money market account, which is not FDIC insured; however the government put in place a money market guarantee program a few months ago. This program protects your principle as of Sept. 19th. If you added funds after that date it would not be covered. There is no dollar limit on this protection. It was temporary, set to expire 12/08 -- however was recently extended to April.
The easiest way to get FDIC insurance within a brokerage account is utilize brokered CDs. |

The correct answer is that it could be. Generally speaking in a brokerage account you generally have several cash sweep option to choose from. Now do all firm with brokerage accounts have several sweep options for their customers... no. You'll have to do some checking. I know for a fact that some sweep options are FDIC insured, however some may not. Remember FDIC insures you currently upto $250K, however this goes back to $100K after 12/31/09. |

Don't believe any of the above answers. Check with your broker. Since the banking problems began, the FDIC & SIPC have changed their rules. Some money market accounts at brokerages and mutual funds are insured. SIPC used to insure the entire brokerage account (against fraud) for $500,000 and cash in the account for $100,000 (the former limit of FDIC insurance for bank account). Most big brokerages have private insurance to increase those amounts. Lately, the FDIC raised their insurance limit to $250,000 and I read somewhere the SIPC was thinking of doing it also (or maybe it was the FDIC will not begin to insure some money market/brokerage cash accounts). check with the broker. |

Most likely, no.
I hold a savings account where I hold my brokerage account.
The only funds I put into the brokerage account are those I'm investing. |
