Oh crap! Now there is an easy way to see your total commissions paid...I just went to tax records and I see I've shelled out about five grand since I started that account up...and I've only made about 40k trading. That is a pretty sweet cut they are getting. Also, I went over my records once again, to review un unpleasant experience with a trade that would not execute...and see that cost me another $5k. And they never bothered to credit my wife's account with the $50 they promised (I even reminded them on the application). I have one nice thing to say about etrade-- the other day when the system would not execute orders for me (and did not provide account information) I shut down my internet connection and made the trade using their voice system, worked flawlessly. Commissions are my fault...overtrading. The trade that would not execute...their fault-- but seems not quite high enough to fight it, my time is worth a lot to me (hmmm, I think I'm full of it with that statement...I am here BSing on SI, maybe I will fight it...but how?)
