JDWriter: I too started with Schwab, found out the $60 round-turn commission was eating heavily into hard-earned profits. Tried several on-line firms (the only way to find out if they were "user friendly"), finally settled on Datek; low commissions, easy to use. They update your positions, portfolio, acct. value, buying power immediately when you make a trade. And you get a report on a fill within 10-seconds. Also they have something they call a "Streamer"; you can list up to 20 stocks and the real-time streamer changes with every trade in every stock as it occurs. You get the day's high, low, volume, bid-ask, points up or down...for every stock. You'd think every on-line broker would provide what Datek does...but the half-dozen I've tried don't. They require $2,000 to open an account. I should add too that they were most helpful when a mistake on their part occured; they made good the loss I suffered. (Lee)
