>> NOT! They have great marketting. Just goes to show that you can package anything and sell it at a premium. << OK. I don't want to turn it into one of these "Who is the best online brokerage?" threads, but having suffered with EGRP for years (while they were still in a dinky office on California vs. the current corporate sprawl on Geng) and having tried a couple of other brokerages along the way only to come grumbling back to EGRP, I want to know WHO is that much better that they can overcome EGRP's marketing edge (that's for newcomers) and there range of online services and, more importantly, instruments (for people like me)?! No Schwabs and Fidelities, please... I am no great fan of EGRP's service and I've got my stories to tell, but this is a question of lesser evil and they are clearly one of the least in the online business - there are much better ones, which, unfortunately, don't have full-service online business. And their (claimed) 95% retention level is the proof as far as valuing EGRP as an investment. Personally, I would still like to know who is that much better to warrant a move. Suggestion?
