hi koda ridge - i have webstreet and have been happy with them ...they charge $14.95 per trade and you can buy unlimited pennies with them for the same price $14.95...if you buy over 1,000 shares of a NASDAQ the trade is free...just my opinion but they seem alot better than e-trade from what i have been reading about them and all the problems Lisa :)

Webstreet has been great for me. Fast transactions, watchlist with a reasonable Level II service for $79.95 per month which is now working well for otc stocks. Their 800 number works well and I can usually speak to a broker in 1-2 minutes if I need to. Online trading is 14.95 for most trades, with essentially no limit on order size, though you may have to talk to a broker for trades over 40 to 50K. Nasdeq orders over 1000 shares are free on stocks over $4. I compare this to Suretrade which I used previously and the extra commission (Suretrade was 8.95) is a bargain for the extra service I get. I am very happy with them. Are they traded publicly? If so, maybe I should look into buying some of their shares!
