ANYONE (anyone on CC thread) kind enough to PLEASE help? I'm a long-time lurker/member. But NEED YOUR HELP! Is anyone here HAPPY WITH THE BROKERAGE they're at? I'm about to BAIL on a bad situation . . . and am hoping to learn from your experiences , at least, as to who to avoid. 1) Anyone using A.B WATLEY or Investrade or ANY OTHER brokerage and 2)using it for BULLETIN BOARD STOCKS as well? 3) and are HAPPY with: a) speed and quality of fills b) confirmation? 4) is the CONTROL of your order making a "better fill" a reality? and WORTH the added cost? 5) I don't necessarily want the cheapest commission. I'm interested in getting the best VALUE (best fill) 6) I'm looking for a broker that is reasonable for doing options as well? (I read somewhere Watley's, for example> options are priced "high" . True? Any help GREATLY appreciated! I'm trying to switch an account to a broker that won't make me LIQUIDATE some bulletin boards in my overall portfolio. I'd like to DUMP this "junk food " part of my poftfolio . . . but NOT now, at a loss! Thus , the need for a brokerage with quick executions. . . and an availability to transfer/trade BULLETIN BOARDS at this time. Then, I can use the new broker to use (strictly) to focus on HERM'S "tastey menu" of REAL stocks. Jaytee
