I have some pretty painful memories of brokers as well. It's much better this way. BTW, Schwab gives me some pretty nice, well-organized statements for my online account. JMHO.

JDN, Agreed. I could have written your post. After doubling Intel and SUNW is when she said " take your profits and run". There are so many other examples...it is sickening. When I bought AOL at $40, she was telling me to sell at $50, because it had appreciated too fast. I didn't sell. Within 3 months, I believe, the stock was over $170. It came back down to $150, and she told me I should buy more. I didn't. A month ago, when it was at $80, she told me to sell. 2 weeks later it was back to $100. At $50 she said to sell. It hit $170 At $150 she said to Buy. It hit $80 At $80 she said to sell. It hit $100 What is wrong with this picture ? In any event. I didn't listen to her on the above adice for AOL, and have been following my own advice long enough now, to know how these idiot analysts operate. Good Luck To ya

When MSFT went public, my broker said: don't buy. My husband said to buy. He rarely says anything about the market. But over the years, I have had terrible experiences with the broker and his assistants. One broker even lost his job. I made several formal complaints about him. These brokers lost more than they ever made for me. I still have accounts with them, but I don't trade shares in those accounts. JDN, is it difficult to move shares from one account to another? I only call the broker for the firm's recommendations on certain stocks. Nowadays, I do all my trading with discount broker. Mephisto
