Should I be worried about Bank of America buying Merrill Lynch?
Q. My parents have quite a lot of stock in Merrill Lynch (which is something I don't fully understand). My Dad was talking to my Mom last night about it, and I need to know if all this worrying is for nothing.

A. If Merrill Lynch didn't get bought they'd probably file for bankruptcy- in that case your parents could've potentially lost a whole lot. Since they've been bought, that means they can sort of use Bank of America as their mom, and use their money to fix some problems, though they wont' be able to fix everythying. In either case they're probably losing quite a bit... but less with Bank of America than other potential scenarios.

How do Merrill Lynch brokers get paid if your account holds mutual funds?
Q. Do they get a cut of the front load or deferred load on the fund? I thought the fund company got that money.

A. A. There's a "load" when you buy them On average that's $575 per every $10,000 you invest. B. There's "internal fees" annually that they get a kick back on. C. You may pay a annual ridiculous fee of 1% or more to "manage" your portfolio. The fees could be one or all of the above. If it's an "annuity", congratulations... your broker has made a significant amount of money for selling you a very poor product.
