Kevin & Bull,
Lombard is one of the best and cheapest online brokerages out there. In the last day or two, I have been looking at them all. There is virtually no reason NOT to have an online account. The information most of these idiot stockbrokers out there can give you is useless. Lombard is one I have not gotten pricing information on yet. Could you tell me the commissions, and if there are any other fees? One to look at, that seems like to the ebst to me, is PC financial Network (www.pcfn.com). I think there is a 2000 dollar minimum, but their service is excellent, and most importantly, cheap! You pay no money to open and maintain an account, and commissions are only $40 for up to 5000 shares (I think). You also get free unlimited real-time quotes, real time intraday graphs, earnings reports, and marketguide reports.
You and Bull should look into it. If Lombard offers better services, and for a cheaper price, please let me know.
BTW Bull, good luck on your short! You did the right thing.
Thanks,
Brian |
