Yeah, let’s not do any wash trades or pump and prop. That’s what the bucket shops specialize in!

On my happy at OPY friend in Miami, he only lists 2 employers on his U-4 (Bear for 18 and OPY for 11).

Would he go back to Bear? Yes, if Bear opened a satellite office in Miami.

Does he churn (trade too often) client accounts? Not to my knowledge, though he's a transactional broker and thus far his clients like the fact most of their trades are in the money (no complaints out of them for 29 plus years).

By the way, MERrill just placed an "esteemed" 25 year plus manager in SF on "administrative leave" last week because the NYSE and others are probing him for "failure to supervise" their market timers. Almost every firm on the Street got caught up in that action to some extent.

Granada, which office? I will give you an honest "it's okay, it's great, or steer clear."

Cincinnati

I don’t much about that office. Will ask around and get back to you on it.
