I don't know how typical my use case is, but that seems like an unwise thing to do, in general. I wouldn't want to realize capital gains or losses solely as a side effect of moving shares from one broker to another! All brokers I have accounts with have a process for directly transferring shares, usually just filling out a web form identifying the other broker and the specific shares / lots to transfer.
