options/shorting >>you might be paying higher commissions on those trades<< options: $14.95 + $1.75/contract what brokerage is cheaper and with equivalent or better service? shorts: does Web Street charge extra for shorting? If someone shorts 1000 shares of a Nasdaq stock trading at $15, isn't the trade free? Also, how big is their short list? Will they allow you to short stocks trading under $5 ? I would like to hear experiences about shorting and trading options through web street. I'm looking for a brokerage with a big short list and cheap options. Regards, S.W.
