This reminds me of a recent thing that was forced upon me. My brokerage was acquired by another brokerage and as a result I had to fill out some annoying paperwork. That acquisition did not benefit me in any way but a few people certainly made a ton of money because of it. I resent that, even though in the grand scheme I was not really that inconvenienced.

In retrospect I should have just spent the same amount of time transferring the contents of that account somewhere else (somewhere that is already set up). At the time I didn't realize how little work is required for such a change.
