I’m getting really nervous now. I’ve had accounts open with some particular online brokers for nearly a decade and I’ve never ONCE received a call from them asking me how their service has been these past few months nor if I’m interested in expanding or consolidating my accounts.

I guess with Bear Sterns, Lehman and Merril Lynch on the verge of collapse or buy out or bankruptcy, everyone’s starting to panic and some marketing genius decided it was a good time to call up customers and try to give the illusion of great friendship and service.

It’s getting really scary out there, be careful!
