I'm using Schwab for options so far, with OK results. I use Schwab for 99% of my trading, and I have an account with Prudential Securities- they are good at doing large bond transactions and finding shares to short.. From my friends who've used other online brokerages, schwab is definitely the best. Their commission's aren't the cheapest, but at least they get the job done. You can call the voice system and perform trades, and their execution on orders is usually 1 minute or less. (i've found it takes around 5 minutes on options orders) Also, I have a Schwab visa debit card that lets me withdraw directly from my account, as well as plenty of checks that I use for everyday bills. I'm starting to wonder why I keep a regular bank account at all, actually. Plus, you can find a branch office of Schwab in any major (or even small) city.. Very useful when you need to deposit or withdraw money)
