If you do that (multiple brokers) how would you handle
total account management? I have two myself--Datek and
Dreyfus (nee PBS). I do options at Dreyfus and equity
trades at Datek. So I want to sell an option on a
trade stock. Too bad, no can do. Sure, eventually
you can transfer.

I don't keep big bucks in either of these accounts,
but I don't think the problem goes away entirely if
I would. I have some bucks I'm reluctant to commit.

I also have a call-up broker that I do some of this
stuff with as well (bigger bucks and good executions,
I like them a lot and carry out my largest trades there).
But I LIKE the idea of doing it myself, talking only
to myself, answering only to myself, and having only
myself to blame or to take credit. I'd probably
be happier if I could get this notion out of my head,
but, so what? There it is.

So How Would You Manage That?

Regards,

Spots
