You are their #1 target customer: passsive, disinterested, too busy. This was the target customer of the banks when they went through deregulation in the 80's. When interest rates on savings were deregulated and banks were forced to pay high rates on savings.... do you think they mailed a letter to customers and told them they were entitled to a better deal? Not really! Right now banks are Charging you to get your own money at the ATM's. Very smart characters these banks, telecommunications companies. AT&T's management are primarily worrying about making it to retirement with full medical. And how much they can make if they sneak in a merger under the banner of "Shareholder value", explaining why it is shrewd to reduce debt. These horses can't pull the weight of their past practices anymore. Buy some growth funds!
