Druss, I agree, it is sad to see. I have no great love of full-service brokers, and I really do not miss the "old days" of having to call a human being to place an order, but there is still something to be said for having some kind of rational barrier between a sucker with an on-line brokerage account and a POS BB stock. Perhaps it would help if they gave BB's TEN letter symbols (last six being always BBCARP), and made a rule you could only trade them by phone, with a very experienced and very persuasive broker (is disuasive a word?) - maybe cOUSIN SHORTY? "DO WhaaaaTTTTT? ARE yoU INsaine? AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!1
