Thanks, Jean, I appreciate the advice. Hopefully I can build a consensus before I make a decision.

Jean, some of what I'm looking for:

1) Ability to handle complicated transactions without requiring more than two phone calls of explanations.

2) Comprehensive monthly and year end Account Statements that afford my tax filing exercises to be a simple matter of copying and attaching these statements to my returns.

3) Decent commissions, though they do not need to be the cheapest as I realize I need some service.

4) Ability to write checks on the Investment Account.

5) Ability to take the Account on Margin when I feel the mood overtakes me.

6) Any other reasonable service that an ecucated investor may require from time to time.

I know my needs seem extensive, but they certainly do not warrant a 1% fee based on the size of my holdings.

Again, thanks in advance.
