Rob, Think about the ML program as paying $375/quarter for each quarter's trading. It's a very good deal, imo. (Margin rates are high though, if that's a factor.) The program should become more attractive when the online trading capabilities get better. They aren't that great right now. BTW, ML doesn't make a market in many of the recent IPO stocks unless it was an underwriter. Those trades are likely to go to another MM such as NITE. Even with stocks ML makes a market in, I've occasionally had 100 share transactions broken up into two parts.
