What the heck is this " AMZN threat to WMT "; "WMT threat to AMZN" thing going on on this thread ?? Get over it everyone- WMT and AMZN have different, distinct customer bases that only partly overlap!!! Retail 101 !! Wal-Mart stock up 75% this year. AMZN up 0%. Obviously, they are different !! Take note all! geeez.

OT- quote feed experiences and online brokers Does anyone have recommendations for real-time quote feeds that has: 1) up-time of over 99% 2) is accessible over standard telephone lines 3) will give streaming real-time quotes on multiple tickers? Also, I am moving my accounts from Datek- tired of poor executions, spotty customer service, and streamer that is more unreliable than reliable. Main criteria for online broker for me: 1) ability to do option trading 2) fast executions of market orders and good fills of limit orders 3) uptime of near 100%, especially at times of large trading volume. I am thinking of Brown, but am not sure about criterion #3 with them. Thoughts? I am sure many on this tread are frustrated with their online brokers, so if you have any positive things to say about yours, please speak up!
