*OT* Re: Corporate account.

I sent a very profound email to my broker for my corporate account the other day. I was up set about two things. One the commission cost per trade and not having control so I could AIM as I saw fit. We jawed on the phone, he was pissed and so was I. He offered me a deal of 2% for total value with no other associated costs. Well I got to thinking in my head about the difference in cost and additional benefits. Do I get access to quality research? Do I get checks? Do I really get anything that I wouldn't get from an On-Line account? In my mind, not really. Is it better to pay a % of account value vrs a minimal cost per trade? The way I figure it I would have to trade 300 times per year to break even on the % deal. Don't think AIM is quite that active.

Anyone see any benefits I'm missing (other than an IPO)?
