Investors in fallen money funds can't access cash
By MARK JEWELL 10.01.08, 4:50 PM ET

BOSTON - The firm managing a money-market mutual fund that "broke the buck" and threatened the stability of the $3 trillion money fund industry now plans to return cash to investors - a pledge that remains elusive for shareholders who can't access money in another troubled fund run by the same firm.

.......

But investors in another smaller fund, Reserve Yield Plus, still have hundreds of millions that they can't take out, with no indication when or how much they'll get back from the $1 billion fund.

TD Ameritrade, which holds a majority of Yield Plus' shares..........

Omaha-based TD Ameritrade is in the market for more than a half million square feet, real estate brokers who are tracking the deal say.

The securities brokerage and investment firm is scouting for office locations near Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport where it would locate a large operations center, leasing agents say.

TD Ameritrade currently has an office in North Fort Worth where its handles technology, client service, investment consulting, brokerage operations and support for its institutional business.

The company has almost 200,000 square feet in the location in the Alliance Gateway project. In 2011, TD Ameritrade expanded the facility saying it was adding almost 500 new jobs.

Real estate brokers say if TD Ameritrade is successful with its office hunt that the operation would grow even larger with more employment.

The future CEO of one of Omaha’s biggest companies will move from Toronto to Jersey City, New Jersey, when he joins the company in January.
Not to worry, the company says; TD Ameritrade Holdings Corp. is solidly based in Omaha, and an out-of-town CEO isn’t a new thing because the current chief executive has been working from Jersey City since 2007.

On the surface looks eerily similar to when Internorth built their new Headquarters and then acquired Houston Natural Gas. And then Ken Lay and the HNG board wrestled away control and moved everything to Houston.

Not saying it will happen. Just that many times when there is change there is also this kind of potential outcome.

And there you have it, my paranoid thought of the day brought to you by the letter S.

The new headquarters kinda makes you feel better about the situation but yeah, if Scottrade employs 4000 people, it kind of makes you nervous. How many of those jobs are in St. Louis and do they have a shiny new headquarters in St. Louis? They most certainly have a larger population and workforce. It didn't make sense to move the HQ before because you would have had to train a whole lot of people but now you have a whole set of workers in St. Louis that know what they are doing. One never knows. Though you hope that since Ameritarade has been very successful with it's operations in Omaha, it continues to stay here. Omaha has been good for business and it hasn't been waning.
