    The chain ends here. No other entity reports MERRILL LYNCH, PIERCE, FENNER & SMITH INCORPORATED as its parent, so the count is a stated zero rather than data still to arrive.

Level 2 data records who consolidates this entity. A reported relationship, or a reported reason for the absence of one, both satisfy the standard. Only a record carrying neither is incomplete.
