I was wondering about whether anyone here had experiences with using Yamner vs. the regular cast of characters as your broker? They claim to give better executions than the e-trades of the world. They charge $32 plus a penny a share. I guess the only way to tell would be to simultaneously place orders at Yamner and other brokerages and compare- something I'm not set up to do. I don't understand the intricacies of the brokerage business, but I guess most discounters get money for routing a trade to one company or the other, which Yamner says they don't do. No conflicts of interest, they say. What do y'all say? I also wondered about American Express, which has free trades if you have over $100k in your acct., but I don't think you can buy and sell on the same day without penalties and there are no NASDAQ stop orders taken. Thanks.
