Today's investing has three different ways? Full service brokerages are promoting analysts recommendations. Long term views of appreciation of stocks you should buy and hold. Discounters who offer telephone trading. brokers are not commission dependent. They don't offer their views. Why use them at all? They give you response to question about trades. How long does the market orders get confirmations, why the delays. Their clearing house runners goes to exchange floors or their bull pan market makers telephone the OTCBB market makers, sometimes they can report the exact situation happening in real time. On line trading, has fastest response to limit and market orders, providing that their clearing house has stock on hand. Dealing with OTCBB stock which is the most popular group of stocks on line investors prefer; on line brokerages got bogged down in the telephone delays in confirming orders. Do test out each service to decide which way to invest will serves you better. Don't stay with any service without trying the others.
