Answer #2:
Yes.The easiest way is to sell and move the cash, but if he doesn't want to do that he needs to contact the new brokerage company and ask them how they prefer to make the transfer. Most of the time they will do it for you, although fees may apply.
Answer #3:
Yes, it can be done somewhat easily but it may take some time. Contact the firm you wish to transfer the stock to, they will help you with the paperwork. You have to fill out an ACATS form with the new broker and they will guide you through the process, they want you to do this as they want your assets.Fidelity may charge you an exit fee and they probably will. Some firms will reimburse transfer costs up to a certain point.

"Freddy" nailed this one for you - You do NOT have to sell anything, and moving through the ACATS system is a lot easier than selling.Just tell the new firm what you want to do, they will complete the firms for you (you may need a copy of your latest statement), they will enter the info into the system and there is less than 10 days for everything to move
