Bermudacat: I'm beginning to doubt Schwabs integrety.

Howdy - a warm welcome to the Fool - and congrats on your maiden post! Hope to see your pawprints around the Boards more often :-)

Integrity is one thing I've never had cause to doubt in Schwab - and I've been with them for more years than I'd care to count.

They've had their ups and downs - made some bad decisions - but they've slowly but steadily come back to their roots as a very trustworthy e-broker. Sure they've added lots of different services along the way - one I enjoy using is the online menu of CDs - pretty neat - very easy to use.

If you don't want that phone call - just say so - I've had no issues at all with my 'Financial Consultant' - in fact she's been very helpful and is great at follow up of any issues I have.

Happy Fooling!
