OT *** on-line trading ***Because of the low reliability of online trading it is advisable are very reliable and offer lots of other amenities. For example, those with a certain level of holdings with Fidelity get assigned to a team of senior Fidelity traders that want to get familiar with you and tailor their services to your particular circumstance. Among the team members, they know just about anything you will ever want to know about any subject....from options trading to other techniques for making money. They even "ate" the commission on a stock when I got "hosed" by a market maker on a market buy. The SOB obviously jacked up the ask price just long enough to nailed me, then brought the ask right back down to where it was before. I was steaming about it and protested the trade. One of the guys on the team went back and looked at the transaction record and removed the commission. That just about made up for the "hosing" from the $%#@& market maker.any listed stock of 1,000 shares for $14.95. On a lot of small stocks costing less than $1, they charge only 3% of the principle...not a penny or more per share as some other brokerages do. Like I said, there are cheaper services out there but, for the money, I personally think Fidelity is the best.astro.lsa.umich.edu
