RE: on-line brokers. Jack, I have experience in on-line trading with Schwab, Discover, and Waterhouse. No problems with any of them. Some differences: Waterhouse is only $12 per trade, but they don't have quotes on BB stocks. You can still buy and sell them, but you have to get your quotes elsewhere. Discover is $15 or $20, and has quotes for BB's, but apparently not access to all MM's. If I want the best quote, I get it from Schwab. They often show a more narrow spread for GPGI than does Discover. Schwab is still high: $30 for any trade up to 1000 shares, more over that. Another good thing about Schwab though is you can get up to 10 real time quotes at once. For the others it's just one at time. Randall
