I've got a question for you: If I take a paper certificate of my shares in Barrick Gold, they can't own it. I'm the owner of theses shares, and I can only trade them or redeem them? That's why I think certificates are important nowadays, in the digital world we're living in. 1 click of a mouse and everything is erased. So back your ass, take certificates, like in the beginning of the 20th century.
