You have a broker? Well guaranteed he is richer than his clients. A rube from Carolina once visited his second cousin, who worked for Merrill Lynch in New York. The financier had urged him to open an account with the firm. His city cousin proudly took the backwoods boy for a tour of the financial district where he oohed and ahhed at the towering buildings and bustling thoroughfares. They ventured down to the waterfront and the city fellow showed him scores of yachts bobbing at anchor. "This is where our brokers keep their yachts", said the New York trader. The country boy replied, "And where do the clients keep theirs?"

They once told Peter Brown of Canaccord that joke. He glared at the teller fiercely. "Well, that used to be the case!", Brown spat out, "but now since the Asian invasion the clients have more yachts than we do! We won't rest at Canaccord until the ratio is back to normal!"
