    I did purchase BRCM stocks in Feb. of 2006. How do I check to see if I have filled all the paperwork properly??? I purchase a total of 400 share in 3 accounts. 200 shares in my accout, 100 shares in my wife’s
    account, and 100 shares I my daughters account. I think I have filled to papper work but can not find a record that I did so. I have the Trade
    confirmations from Schwab to show the transactions.
