This article represents exactly why OLB's are here to stay and will continue to grow: cbs.marketwatch.com <<Online discount brokers, the secret to wealth. "The 'story' of my success lies in the Internet. In my past I have had accounts with commission brokers. Some investments did okay, others did not. The broker always took credit for the gains and had excuses for the losses which -- for whatever reason -- were not his fault. I figured that I could do better and I was right. But 'back then' you almost had to use a securities dealer since only they had the 'information.' That has certainly changed. Will never use Wall Street again. "In recent years, all that 'secret' information -- which used to be available only to the commission security brokers -- is now widely available to everyone for free. Frankly, I can't imagine ever using, or needing, one again. I guess security dealers stay in business catering to people who don't know what is available, or don't have PC or web access. But you certainly don't have to be a genius to read the research stuff that's out there on the Net today." >>
