nihil, RE: "I would like to slow down the stock market boom without killing off the car, consumer durables, and house markets."

OT RE: "Waterhouse even refuses to execute orders on many volatile stocks " Hi Nihil, What types of stocks do they refuse to execute? Is this good/bad? Sort of sounds bad to me. Waterhouse is being considered for our 401K accounts at work (it's less costly than Fidelity, Schwab, etc.). Have you used Waterhouse? If you have any pros/cons on this, would you (or anyone) please PM me. Folks seem to like the fact they can invest in individual stocks thru their 401Ks (rather than be at the mercy of a mutual fund return), although the mutual funds are offered too. Thanks, Amy J
