>> You might want to check out MB Lite @ $115/mo

Yes, thanks, I was just asking about that. However,
I'm more in Zeusspaul's camp, I think; that is, I'd
like a way to ease into the whole thing on a part-time
basis.

I just can't allocate more than a very few (at most)
days per quarter to it with anything like the attention
that's required, even though I do have some
flexibility in my workday.

I already have (more or less) real time quotes, real meaning
however often Datek wants to update 'em <G>, which,
despite the bad press they're getting lately, is not
really too bad, most of the time. Nevertheless MB Lite
sounds interesting and I will keep following it.

Actually, MB isn't so high if you take the point of view
(which is true enough) that 20 tickets a month (which
reduces the price to $100) isn't very much. It sure
sounds like a lot to a guy who's traded maybe 15
times in the most active month of his life, though.

BTW, I have an account a Yamner, and Steve (and others
there) do indeed work the orders for you. Their
basic commission is $35 +2 cents a share. So? All
it takes is a 1/16 improvement either side.

(If I continue this line of reasoning much further,
I'll be signing up for MB Monday morning <GGG>.)

>Same order entry capabilities with real time quotes, but no level II, no time and
sales, and no charting.<
