Merrill Lynch could buy EGRP and be done with it, LABMAN. BUT: ML apparently has a culture problem with online trading in general and EGRP in particular, based on a fleet of full-service brokers and the "not invented here" syndrome. While many other banks, brokers, funds and insurers would die for EGRP, it's getting expensive. EGRP's market cap (say, $4.5B) is challenging PWJ's ($5.0B). EGRP has little incentive to sell out unless a spectacular bid comes along. Cotsakos very, very smart. And EGRP's part of the Softbank global "kiretsu." Could now even make the case for EGRP's merger with a media company or portal/hub. After all, isn't it all about "entertainment?!" BAM
