etrade - they bug. They give you lots of ways to put money in, but few ways to take it out. They won't give you electronic trade confirmations unless you agree to give up the paper ones. They take as long as they can to post your money after a sale. They are like the Dollar Motel - money checks in, but it doesn't check out. Plus, their site is laid out poorly. Maybe its just me, but I was not impressed.

Frank. Whoa! Time to pack your bags and MOVE HERE!<g> Seriously Amos, those are very high commissions. Hard to get your fair share of the winnings on ST <swing trades> when the house takes THAT big a cut?! Many deep discount brokers in the US, like mine, allow UNLIMITED # of shs for $11.95 on a limit order, and $7.95 on a market order (each way). So, for all intents and purposes, I'm trading close to <flat> on stocks priced over $2.00 US. Stocks under 2 $US are $29 for unlimited # of shares. Can't speak for everyone. But my broker gives superb service. Hell, I used to work for one of the W.S. super major firms and they even tried to screw their employees! Have delt with perhaps 6 or 8 brokerage firms in the past 29 years. So have a good basis for comparison. Isopatch
