What kind of advise are you getting from your "full service" broker? Remember, your broker has even worse conflicts of interest than an analyst when it comes to recommending a stock. And, a broker rarely knows as much about individual stocks as an intelligent, diligent individual investor.

The warnings against Prudential aren't primarily about price. They are about the advice you would receive if you are trying to be a Gorilla Gamer. Your broker hasn't read TFM!

If you feel you need a local presence (and I came to the same conclusion) to the extent you might be willing to pay a little extra, what about Merrill Lynch (which has $20 trades now, online), or maybe American Express (which has free trades!), if their overseas branches will provide support.

Best,
John
