I talked to Farsight today and the bottom line is that management has decided that they do not want to be a discount broker.They do not want to compete with sure trade and Ameritrade.They do not even want to do retail trading. They want to work with institutions. They want to be known for their superior service and not price. Oh well...just a little inconveniant for the customer ( me) who just transfered all by stock to them from another company with superior service.
