Unbelievable! Customer "acquistion" costs are SOARING (they used to only pay $50, then $75). I don't know, but I think I rather invest in bricks and mortar if I was starting a business - it's cheaper. Remember, this $400 rebate only requires you deposit a whole $1k in a cash account or $2k in a margin account:
