Voltaire,

I thoroughly enjoyed your rant. We can only hope that the houses will have less and less power as more people move to Schwab, E*Trade, and the like. Unfortunately, there always will be a segment of the population in need of so-called full service brokerage, so we'll have to continue to put up with this sort of thing.

I'd actually like to see a rule against firms in the business of trading stocks making public statements about their opinions of the market and particular stocks. It seems like a massive conflict of interest to me. They can say whatever they want to to their clients, but these public statements should not be allowed.

The free speech issue? Maybe we get what we pay for.
