They do a great job of making sure that the masses are kept in the dark. Not overtly, but by doing a (obviously) great job of marketing their (costly) services.

Most people think that ML or for that matter Schwab are the only game in town. Even when they do discover the deep discount brokers, they are sold on buying and selling individual stocks, that are touted by the broker, BIL, taxi cab driver, "friend', or neighbor, as the way to go.

Hmmm .. .need a massive educational push here. ESTJ sorry ...
