That means customers can have access to first-run stock research, buy stocks underwritten by the firm, get advice from a broker and trade on line themselves, all under one roof.

Let's review ML's current offering: 1) most of the useful research is not available to retail clients via the online system and the research system is often down (like it has been since yesterday); 2) none of the good IPO stocks will likely ever go to a "new" client unless several million dollars in assets tag along; 3) ML's current online trading system won't allow you to daytrade a stock. One side of the transaction has to be done via the broker. No options trading yet.

#3 is likely to be fixed in the future.
