Gleno,
I'm the same with the phone too. I'll talk to you face to face all day, but call me & you better make it short. Bugs the heck out of our female friends, they call & expect to talk to both of us, I say hello, how ya doing, do you need me to come out & help you with something, ok, good to talk to you, & leave them with the wife.
OK, now for business.
You've said you've done business with Scottrade & didn't like them, something about options. How long ago was this & could you tell me more about it. I am/was thinking about opening an acct. with them as a back up incase I don't like this conversion from Brown to E-Trade.
