DON'T use WebStreet! Try Brown&Co. eom NASDAQ above 5,000 again. Perfect setup for a crash this earnings season.

JI: I use the following three free sites for real-time quotes: foxmarketwire.com quotes.freerealtime.com tscn.com The last one is good because it shows the last 10 trades, also. If you'd consider using another broker, try AB Watley. I put a token amount into an account with them so I could get their free Level II service. Also, you get your trades executed in seconds (literally). There's also a nice charting feature which has helped me identify key support and resistance levels, candlesticking patterns, etc. Best regards, Mike P.S. I use Waterhouse, too, so I feel your pain.

Switch to Brown & Co. When I call I rarely have to wait for more than a minute, even in the busiest times. Of course it can happen, but rarely do I need to wait for long. That said, there will be days.......... When the spread is tight I place market orders, and they are almost always filled within 20 seconds - while I am still on the phone and at the price I expect. They do get the best price when they can. I have gotten market orders filled at 1/16 or 1/8 under the quoted ask on some trades, so I think they do a good job for their customers. Most importantly for me, they have never messed up my account and they really seem to be professional.
