Level II for $75/mo coming to JBOH. Good little broker. I use AMTD, and have had problems on heavy volume days...might switch to JBOH. Their site is nice looking too. FM

Good starting point for comparisons... great website that compares ALL the brokerages and readers input sonic.net I use InvestTrade which until last week was running great (touchtone at least) The web site seems slow when I come home for lunch but I dont have a fast modem (28.8) so my results could be because of that. The customer service is great, friendly, informative.. and only twice have I waited more than 3 rings when I have tried to place an order with a real live person. On the negative side, the past week has been bad. Last Friday the site was down due to NY ice storms, and lately from 9:30 to 10 AM the touchtone phone system has been "busy", which is going to get me to switch if they dont fix it. As for JBOH, I bet all 3 of the people who recommended it are in the stock as well ;) I see it on Tokyo Mex thread daily ... but at this point its very undervalued to the rest. Then again I dont think Ameritrade (AMTD) which I hear people complain about CONSTANTLY justifies a $57 stock price, then again its the internet age... anything internet is worth at least $100. Shoddy web site, shoddy customer service, many many minutes waiting on calls, etc. good luck in your quest though! Mark
