Are you crazy. It is hard enough trading one account. Breaks up your concentration if you trade for others IMO. JL

Why don't you put all their money in one account and treat it like a mutual fund where everyone owns a percentage of the account. That way everyone gets equal treatment and it saves you time.

>Here is my question, is there anyone out there that has the capability to place block trades electronically in a master account and then spread those shares around to other accounts? If so, what system are you using? I may be wrong, but I am willing to bet that no broker will do this for you, unless you are a registered investment advisor and have a limited power of attorney that will give you legal authority to trade for others accounts. I know for a fact that both schwab and fidelity offer this type of account, but as I said, you could not be a retail customer, you would be considered institutional and would have a lot more controls on you than you would as a retail investor. Your commission structure would also be higher (and negotiated most likely). Good luck.
