Interesting concept Riley... It could actually work, and it certainly would shake any shorts up. But I have to ask.. How much is DLJ paying you for the extra clients you would be bringing in?? <VBG> Regards, Ron

To All: On balance, the idea of transferring your shares from your present account to a DLJ Direct account seems like a good one (even though your shares undoubtedly got into your current account through a DTC transfer at the time of purchase. So if you ended up with 'air' at the time of your original purchase(s), its not clear to me that a second DTC transfer will necessarily help the situation. Still, it might!) At the end of this message is some possibly helpful information concerning brokerage account transfers from the investment FAQ (while you will probably be transferring only your RMIL shares rather than an entire account, I believe the process is similar) There are a few caveats that some people may need to keep in mind. 1. The transfer process is not necessarily free - check with your present broker and, by all means, check with DLJ Direct if your existing broker is going to charge you for the transfer. The next two will probably only apply to a few: 2. If your tax loss on RMIL is about to go from a short term loss to a long term loss, you may need to carefully consider the tax consequences of a cabinet trade (or an attempt to sell the shares on the 'grey market') vs. continuing to hold. Consult your tax advisor if the tax consequences in your situation are in doubt. 3. In the unlikely event that RMIL resumed trading while this process is ongoing (in other words if hell freezes over, IMO), you might be unable to trade your shares while they are tied up in the transfer. Subject: Trading - Transferring an Account Last-Revised: 9 Jan 1997 Contributed-By: stock2100@aol.com Transferring an account from one brokerage house to another is a simple, painless process. The process is supported by the Automated Customer Account Transfer (ACAT) system. To transfer your account, you fill out an ACAT form in cooperation with your new broker. The new broker will generally require a copy of your statements from the old brokerage house, plus some additional proof of identity. The transfer will be made within about 5-10 business days for regular accounts, and 10-15 business days for IRA and other types of qualified retirement accounts. The paperwork starts the process, but thereafter it's all done electronically. There is one caveat. Some brokerage houses charge fees as high as $50 to close IRA accounts. Other houses (Quick & Reilly is one) will reimburse you some fixed amount to cover those fees. Be sure to ask, the answer may delight you. invest-faq.com
