<< i might as well open an account with an $8 one. it should save me $1K or so a year. >> A couple of points here - the other companies have had the same problems in the past, and probably will in the future (ETrade too), so it access is your issue, moving your account will not solve anything. If price is the most important issue, definitely move your account. I do all my short-term trading on Datek ($9.99 per trade), but I don't like it for long-term buy and hold. It doesn't have enough account information on-line for my tastes. That's when I use ETrade. If you are intent on moving your account, and you want lower fees but still want the bells and whistles, look at Waterhouse. They charge $12/trade (market or limit, with some minor limitations on the type of orders you can place), and have a reasonable level of account information on line.
