"Have you been with them long? And still happy?"

I haven't opened an account with them. Most of my short term profits come from shorting, and when I got my account packet from MB, they included the list of "unable to borrow" stocks. 60% of my short term profits YTD have come from 4 short sells, and 3 of them were on the MB restricted list. The other one I hadn't encountered at the time, but I'll bet it's not available through them as well. I understand that MB has expanded the list considerably as well, as well as making you call before you initiate a short position. I would have already transferred the account if not for that.

As far as their reputation, I understand it is pristine.
