ILD, What is your experience with Brown Co ? They are now owned by JPM. They charge one of the lowest commissions out there. Any problems ? Thanks. Simba

I decided not to fund my new IB account. I'm going to stick with Harris. Even though IB had insurance, I am concerned about cash balances above 100k. You never know if the insurance company will be able to make good in a meltdown. At Harris, at least I can buy tbills. I'll be first in line at IB the day they allow you to buy tbills. Then this a.m. I see this: nytimes.com To Insurers, a Long, Free Ride Is Looking Risky... But the three insurers who offer the policies — the Travelers Property Casualty Corporation, the American International Group and Radian Asset Assurance — say they are getting out of the business To bad RDN is getting out. I'm short and I'd rather they lose their ass <g>
