TO All-- As a result of a dispute with a customer, the online broker Web Street Securities has made an offer that should be publicized. They are giving away $100 in commission credit to any current customer who will email them with a request for that credit. They are also giving the hundred buck credit to new customers. To see the dispute that caused the offer, see the Web Street thread, or go to: exchange2000.com Good trading, jim

Jim, Online, you can pull up a chain, but the real time quotes require refresh. If you call a live broker, they'll give you quotes by exchange if you ask. I've been extremely happy with the guys at my Brown office. They are very up to speed and will work with you. I've got real time on my system at home, and when I place limit orders to go long options I will always see my order become the bid (if the market is not too fast). Under 10 and sometimes 10 contracts are filled electronically by the exchanges. 10 or more go to the floor. Fills have always been good and the only delay on confirmation has been from the exchange. Brown's commissions and service are the best in the biz as far as I'm concerned. --spaw--
