I have a Money Market account with the Mutual Fund group, if I need to add a 
few dollars to stock (dollar average) I get on the computer and transfer it 
or get on the phone and have it moved. If you buy/sell something it goes to 
the stock or MM account. My IRA automatically deposited to my MM account each 
month. Each MM,MF and Security has a register just like a checking account.
