Good starting point for comparisons... great website that compares ALL the brokerages and readers input

sonic.net

I use InvestTrade which until last week was running great (touchtone at least) The web site seems slow when I come home for lunch but I dont have a fast modem (28.8) so my results could be because of that.

The customer service is great, friendly, informative.. and only twice have I waited more than 3 rings when I have tried to place an order with a real live person.

On the negative side, the past week has been bad. Last Friday the site was down due to NY ice storms, and lately from 9:30 to 10 AM the touchtone phone system has been "busy", which is going to get me to switch if they dont fix it.

As for JBOH, I bet all 3 of the people who recommended it are in the stock as well ;) I see it on Tokyo Mex thread daily ... but at this point its very undervalued to the rest.

Then again I dont think Ameritrade (AMTD) which I hear people complain about CONSTANTLY justifies a $57 stock price, then again its the internet age... anything internet is worth at least $100. Shoddy web site, shoddy customer service, many many minutes waiting on calls, etc.

good luck in your quest though!
