I have about 6 shares of stock with Johnson and Johnson I was looking to sell. Instead of having a check mailed to me I was wondering is it possible to transfer them in exchange for Bitcoins?? Or does this type of trading not exist?
I used to play the stock market a little bit and have thought about this as well. I use Scottrade and I'm pretty sure them and other brokerages like them have an option available of sort of "cashing out" your shares from their system, and having a physical declaration of shares held sent to you, as in a fancy paper saying you own X amount of shares in Z company. If you could do this, then you would be able to receive the shares and then trade them for BTC.
I have the physical papers, (or shares) in my possession. But how would I trade them for Bitcoins, I feel like i would need cash, right?
