Pae, your message about e.Schwab could not have been said better. I used to work there and I would back them through thick or thin. However, since I started trading with Datek, Schwab is a thing of the past. I simply can't get over their arrogance for keeping commisions high. If you make any trade over 1000 shares they will sting you with commissions. I recently bought 6500 shares of a stock at 1 1/2 at e.Schwab. The commissions were $190!!! The same trade at Datek, if I'm not mistaken, is $19.98. Even Fidelity has cut their commissions. Schwab is for mutual fund investors.
