tracking down forgotten brokerage account

a company as large as home depot will have a fairly robust human resources department and would probably be able to steer you in the right direction: odds are they know the name of the brokerage and other particulars. i did some googling around, their # is  (1-866-698-4347). different states have different rules about how long an institution can have assets abandoned before turning them over to the state. california, as an example, has an abandoned property search site that you can use.  that being said, i had some penny stocks sitting in a brokerage account i never touched for about 20 years and when i finally logged back in there they were, still sitting there.
