Schwab is NOT price competitive. Since leaving Schwab and opening a LOMBARD account I have learned what a true discount broker is. Schwab rates are terrible in comparison with LOMBARD. The Lombard web site is excellent. Their phone service is also very good. Lombard was rated #1 among the deep deep discount brokers in some publication about 6 months ago. I'm very glad I made the change. Schwab was good but lombard is better and MUCH MUCH MUCH less expensive. The e schwab discount is a poor excuse for a discount. My Schwab office in BOISE Idaho was very helpful while I was a customer. They told me if I traded with E schwab that this discounted service did not cover the use of their personal service. The e schwab discount was not motivating. It was still way higher than LOMBARD. If you have been a Schwab customer and now feel that you are capable of making your own investment decisions; Get a deep deep discount broker with an excellent web site. I dont work for LOMBARD. I feel comfortable recommending them. Friends recommend service providers to each other when they find an excellent one. carpe diem
