Congratulations on getting far enough ahead... ;) I've had a recent windfall myself and am currently engaged in the same search. Citibank which has my other accounts looks like a good choice. But I've also been fascinated and delighted by the add for DISCOVER brokerage, and they are BARRON's top pick for the last three years...

Saul Kent and 21CM will be looking for investors soon, so you may wish to keep that in mind.

( I really do love that DISCOVER commercial!! )
