Merrill Lynch SUCKS
If anyone is thinking about opening brokerage or other accounts with Merrill Lynch, or are considering moving your accounts to or from Merrill, perhaps you should know that they can and do, with no prior warning, freeze and close your accounts. I had accounts with Merrill Lynch for over 20 years, yet today I got a form letter from the assistant to our broker (guess the broker himself didn't have the balls to sign his name to it) saying that our accounts were closed. Isn't that sweet.
Needless to say, I do NOT recommend Merrill Lynch.
