I thought the trend in the security retail business has been a shift away from the traditional pressure room brokers to truly value-added financial consultants where they act like a personal money manager taking charge of anything from investment to business loans to estate planning. I happen to look at a Solomon Smith Barney ad recently and that is how they advertise their "brokers". Am I seeing something that is not there? Note: Never used a full fee broker since 1991.

LT - IDTI just warned tonight about overall weak PC environment. Its mainstay, SRAM, is commanding weak pricing. A must-read. biz.yahoo.com Don't think DRAM is any different. The flood gate is beginning to open. In an up day on Nasdaq and MU closed down and inched closer to $22. Definitely not a good sign. I'll check the option activity as well.
