The Exchange discovered a general disregard of a joint opinion of seven law firms representing the largest brokerage firms on the Exchange. This opinion, written in 1934 as an aftermath of the Banking Act of 1933 which divorced deposit banking from underwriting and brokerage, held that brokerage firms could legally keep their huge customers' balances so long as they...
