scanshifty.... Hmmmm... So now Goldman Sachs, one of the most respected houses on Wall Street, is full of idiots. They must not read your posts on SI! I thank the Lord Almighty that I have stumbled onto this thread where you have taught me soooooo much. Delivered me from evil! I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why Jerrry Putnam would choose Goldman Sachs and E*Trade as partners instead of you? One of life's little mysteries.

>>Cyberbroker's commissions are slightly cheaper because there is no limit to the amount of shares per ticket. Scanshift: I don't know how you can say that. Cyber-Brokerage has these add-on fees per their web-site cyber-brokerage.com Type of Execution Per Ticket Fee Per Share Fee SOES $0.50 N/A SelectNet Direct (Preference) $1.00 N/A SelectNet Broadcast $2.50 N/A Island Direct (DATA) Add Liquidity N/A -$0.001 Island Direct (DATR) Remove Liquidity N/A $0.0025 Attain Direct (ATTN) $1.00 N/A Instinet Direct (INCA) N/A 0.0125 ECN (ATTN, INCA) N/A 0.015 ECN (BTRD) N/A 0.005 ECN (ISLD, REDI) N/A 0.025 Terra Nova (TNTO) N/A 0.005 NYSE N/A $.005 Maybe I am interpreting this wrong, but it seems to me this would add on signicant cost. MB (per their web-site) adds on only in the case of INCA: 1.25c per share for Nasdaq, up to 10,000 shares, and 1.0c per share for NYSE above 2000 shares. Other ECN's, for example REDI and ATTN, aren't mentioned, and I would expect there would also be a charge there, but I believe there is considerable room for argument with your statement. wily
