that "loss leader" approach must be pretty common. i opened a CD at State Farm a few years back when they were offering yields well above market.

It looks WM has too much of "loss leaders". I bank with them and every time I visit a branch there is a big line to the tellers (WM the only who offers free checking accounts) and a few bored officers behind the desks. The biggest desk has an "Investment" banner above it. I have never seen a client talking to a representative behind this desk. KT, what do you think about resent lack of mutual fund inflows? People don't care about stocks any more (RE is much better)? Or people are turned away by recent scandals?
