Isoman,

Just a brief note on Citicorp -

Just to give you some of the basics....and my view.....

$19.95 for online (and phone) trades plus 1.50 postage and handling - by investment services representative start at 29.95 for up to 100 shares but gets more complicated from there....

Order for equities less $1 a shares canNOT be entered online!

The system is NOT user friendly. It is extremely "klunky." For example, each transaction (i.e, order entry, order review, etc.,) is preceded by a full screen of "disclaimer" which you must accept to continue. Orders cannot be changed - they must be canceled and re-entered in two separate transactions.

In other words, I would no recommend Citicorp.

I got involved with them because I have an account with Citibank and it seemed like a good idea at the time. It is convenient - for transferring funds - or at least it should be - from one hand to the other - but even that they screwed up this week! LOL

If you would still like more info, let me know.

Bill
