BTW, how do you get your daily wires? Are you referring to morning call notes and intra-day calls? I call my broker for morning and intraday call notes and vice versa. If you've got $900K in the account at ML, you've got to be paying more than $1500/yr. Right now, online trading is one way. You can only buy OR sell a specific stock on the same day. To unwind, you have to call your broker. I do pay only $1500/year in quarterly amounts of $375. You are correct about online being one way for the same day trade if one takes the position that day. One may buy online that day but has to call the broker to sell. However, one may sell that day and buy back without calling the broker. All option trades have to be done through the broker. Glenn

Bob, I see that the yearly fee is based on the amount of assets. I started this account with most of my assets at DLJ and have been moving funds to Merrill.
