Accutrade (800-882-4887) charges just 3 cents a share with a $48 minimum. So you could buy 1,600 shares of IBM for just a $48 commission.

Merrill inhabited, when he chose, both the inaccessible world of the super-rich (James Merrill's much-married father, Charles Merrill, helped found Merrill Lynch) and the world of young, well-educated gay men long before either Stonewall or AIDS. When Charles first suspected that James had a male lover at Amherst, Merrill's mother had to talk Charles out of hiring a hit man. (But) during the time of A Different Person, Merrill moved...
...sauntered about from booth to booth, absorbing all of this intensity, wondering what message the Forum was sending to me. Chase Manhattan Bank, First Boston Investment Banking, IDS Financial Services--there certainly were a lot of big names here to harvest Harvard's most-eager. Merrill Lynch, Corporate Decisions, Price Waterhouse--was I detecting a pattern? Goldman Sachs, Fidelity Management, Boston Consulting--hold on. I stopped to get a list of exactly who was wooing and being wooed by Harvard's ripest undergraduates. The companies were grouped by field, with consulting, financial services, and investment banking making up almost...
