Gary, surely that must have been 374 BILLION, not Million, yes? Alohal, I went back and checked Business Week. The quote does in fact say "By yearend, 3 million U.S. households will have online accounts with $374 million in assets." As that is only $124 per online account, the Business Week number is clearly wrong (i.e., it does not pass the straight face test). Great catch! You should write a letter to the editor of Business Week. (Again, the error is on page 126 of the 70th Anniversary edition, Oct. 4, 1999). Gary Korn
