ML buys Advest

Nice move.  They are buying the clients, firing the brokers and getting more gross from exisiting Advest clients.

Any thoughts on this?  Any Advest FAs?

I am literally across the street from an Advest and in 4 years, I have never seen any of there statements during a review.  Either they don’t have HNW clients, or the clients love them.
