Merrill Lynch belongs to 41 stock exchanges, from New York to The Netherlands, averages 4,900 sales or purchases during every market hour. On the biggest bourse of them all???the New York Stock Exchange?Merrill Lynch has a hand in 12% of the round-lot (100 shares or more) and 20% of the odd-lot (less than 100 shares) transactions.
