I just wrote an ETrade check for $6K to DLJdirect to transfer a portion of my cash. In my DLJ account in two business days. I'm sure that's much faster than ETrade could handle a transfer. I thought DLJdirect might find it funny... And if ETrade sees the check (I doubt they do) they might not. I've heard a rumor somewhere that ETrade charges $20 or $40 to "close" an account. So I figure I'll just keep writting checks as I close out positions. For positions I want to keep open, DLJ will transfer them for me. Though I haven't really researched that. Maybe someone with more experience can shed light on that? And the $20 fee to "close" an account?
