>>>>>>> I am soon to be an ex E trader like many others. <<<<<< Ah! a leader! :> >>>>>> I don't know which is worse, their trading reports or their Web site. <<<<<<< I won't comment on the trading reports as I only make three or four trades a day and they seem appropriate to me. But regarding the web site don't confuse simplicity with usefulness. The design of the site is rather spartan but you can get anywhere with only a couple of clicks. In Discover Brokerage (formally Lombard) you HAVE TO KNOW where certain items are otherwise you'll never get there. (And you have to wait for 4 or 5 complicated --and flashy-- screens to load before you can do what you want) eSchwab has a very flashy site but it's impossible to find anything there. You have to navigate through several layers and the labels are obscure and confusing. I heard that they are revamping it from the ground up. I'm also anxious to pick up more EGRP on Monday but in the meanwhile let's call a spade a spade, please. theRedDog
