Thanks Sheri, this sounds great so far! Any idea if they will let you trade BB stocks over the net? thanks/ Additional info on them...I just checked them out here might be a down side for some like me: FOR THOSE WHO PREFER TO ENTER STOCK AND OPTION ORDERS USING A LIVE BROKER, THE FOLLOWING COMMISSION SCHEDULE APPLIES: ALL STOCK TRADES ( NASDAQ/OTC stocks and LISTED stocks) 3› per share subject to a minimum commission of $45. This includes many pink sheet and most foreign stocks. ALL OPTION TRADES $50 Plus $3.50 per contract BONDS $5 Per $1,000 subject to a minimum commission of $40. There was a carve out on there that some otc and pink sheet stocks might not be able to use the automated system.

Look at the fine print for Freedom...those rates don't apply for BB stocks. EOM Judith

I had Freedom's package but tossed it and decided on Farsight. I really can't remember why now. Do you know if they do online OTC:BB (penny stocks)? If they are giving the average Joe 30 days free trading, I think 90 days (1/4 year) free trades is more like it if we give them 30 or so new accounts!! Before anyone on the list bails to Freedom or any new broker, let's see what kind of collective deal we can make. If anyone does go due to time constraints or what have you, please let me know so I can pull your name from the list and deal with new houses with real numbers of accounts we may move to them. Also, if you bail, please post here to who and why for the benefit of the rest of us to make our decisions.
