face=Arial>With the
onset of major bankruptcies, I think it is important to consider the security
of your broker. Besides Enron (world's 7th largest company), K-Mart (world's
3rd largest retailer), and JP Morgan, many other well established companies are
in trouble. Many of the newer online brokerages and mutual funds are part of
the dotcom era. I wonder how solvent they are?<span

face=Arial>I just
finished reading an article about what I felt was one of the most secure
(although expensive) online brokerages. In Q3 2001, Schwab's trades were down
26% from Q3 2000. In response Schwab has begun selling investment advice.
This is not making Schwab's independent advisors happy and they account for 1/3
of it's total client assets. In addition, estimates are that Schwab's 2001 net
income is down 50% from 2000.<span
