Tim, I should have dumped (or better yet never bought) my MSFT sooner. Now that you mention it, I did just that (dumped MSFT) some time ago (and bought more AMD with the proceeds). If the stock (MSFT) goes a lot lower on Monday, it may actually become attractive again. Joe

Tim, The accumulation and record keeping requirements will be done by depository sites who charge a fee now to the brokers....which you will pay directly. They will also report on the profit/loss you made on each transaction. The banks will get linked in and will become the extenders of credit(they are now.....you only think it is the broker). Other sites will come in to being to perform all those other services you mentioned for a fee also so the ride will get cheaper and you will be more in control of the assorted transactors...each of which will live or die on their own merits and fess and there will be a number of them in each niche competing for your bucks. There will probably continue to be all-in-one full service brokers for thos that want them. As for MSFT....it was written. Bill
