Good evening. I have a CashPlus Platinum Account and I am trying to open an Individual Basic Securities Account (BSA) but MS is giving me the run around. I know that I cannot open an Access Direct account as my employer doesn't use MS for our 401K program, but the Basic Securities Account only carries a $50 annual fee, which I would be willing to pay versus the $150 annual fee of the Active Assets Account (AAA). After going through a couple of Access Investing Accounts, I am no longer interested in sticking the $5K in them just to have them tie up unnecessary monies and still underperform the market. I figure I can just pay the $50 fee annually and just leave it empty or even place a few long term trades in it if the mood hits me. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
