as much as i gripe about the service i like the stock recently. I trade 2 - 3 times per day...on phone at work and routinely hold for 1 - 4 minutes. I spend an avg of $80 - $100 per week at $18 per phone trade. Yet when i ask traders for quotes they get irritated. granted i have no basis for comparison, but if this service drives amertrds atock up i am tempted to buy into others for me on-line stock companies are among safest play for net stocks. no question that more and more people will stop paying merrill lynch $80 and start paying $7 to buy msft, intc, aol, etc. buying and holding these picks is not rocket science. 1 other possibility companies with 401ks link with discount broker & let ees trade their own portfolio. Someone please tell me wht this will or won't happen.
