I went to my local office to take advantage of Merrill’s 5.5 percent 6-month CD. Nobody had a clue…it took them quite some time to figure out what paperwork was needed. They also put you through a personal profile questionaire which doesn’t take long but is annoying. Now, I get my first statement and the yield is 5.43 percent. This is curious since the interest is paid at maturity and the broker calculated the interest in the office for me at the full 5.5 percent rate. Are they getting back their account fee? I was assured that there was no account fee provided that I withdrew the funds immediately upon maturity. We shall see. Fidelity and Scottrade never put me through such crap!!

I opened the cd. I did not have to pay brokage fee account.
BUT they take out 30 dollars out of your account when
you open a CD and tells you that you get it back
at the end. If you are good in math. you might. But it is verbal saying you get it back NOT in writing.
I got scrued…untill i see in the end statement.
