My opinion - the research on the net is better than anything
you get from a brokerage. Go with the deep discounters to
save commissions. I also find I get quick executions there.
Brown & Co is excellent in my opinion. After starting with
a full service firm almost 30 years ago, I would never go
back.

Tom, why would you bother bouncing your ideas off a salesman?

I've never gotten good advise from any of them. Do your own
work and understand what your goals are and make a plan to
get there. If you do your own research and follow the markets,
you will know more.

As for internet trades, well I don't think so. I have read too
many stories on SI threads of people thinking they made a trade
or didn't make a trade, only to find out later that it didn't
really happen that way because what they saw on their monitor
at home somehow didn't happen. I call a real person on a recorded
line and usually get the price of the trade before I hang up.
At $5 (market orders) or $10 per trade, why put up with any
uncertainty?
