[OFF TOPIC about WebStreet] Mike, thanks for the help. I just visited their web site. I find their commission schedule a little bit confusing. They have various schedules for trading over 1000 shares, trading stocks under $2.00, trading with a live broker but it all boils down to the following commission schedule: - via Internet, flat fee $14.95 any number of shares, any share price - via live broker, flat fee $24.95 any number of shares, any share price. Is that right? Real time quote: - 100 free quotes for each trade - Automatically updating live quotes: $29.95/month - Real time quote (require screen refreshing): $29.95/month (??? why would I want to sign up for this if it is the same fee as the above) - Level II quote: $79.95/month Correct me if I misread the rate schedule. Mike, how fast is the execution via a live broker? How fast do they answer the phone? Have you used WebStreet during the crash last fall? Could you get through the phone or Internet? I need to use a live broker sometimes when I am on the road or when Internet is not accessible. Thank you for all your help. The other Mike.
