Webstreet charges 15. flat and all trades over 2,000 shares at a price
of 2. dollars or higher is free. I played efax this week for some
great gains. And against my better judgement considering how much
more money I have made off stocks between 2.-15. and how much I have
lost in penny stocks I am going to gamble. Since we are nearing
2 bucks and I bought WCTI at 2. and watched it go through the roof
I think this could have great potential. I also bought imot at 3 and
sold it at 3 for a loss only two watch it this week fly up.
Good luck to all I realize the potential of this stock so hopefully
it will live up to its potential.

I can see why etrade server has gone down in the past.. If you have a fidelity gold account.. trades are 14.95 for 5,000 shares. They charge more for otc but their service is the best.. I've never had a problem with the website and if I choose to call, I get a broker imediately.. j

Here's another deep discounter to throw into the mix. National Discount Brokerage charges:

14.75 for market orders
19.75 for limit orders

For up to 5,000 shares of listed or unlimited number of OTC.

However, Multiple same day executions for the same stock on the same side of the market (all buys or all sells) will be grouped as one transaction for commission purposes.

So, for instance, if you had traded in and out of EFAX 5 times yesterday, you would have paid a total of $30 (for market orders) or $40 (for limit orders). That's $3 a trade for market or $4 a trade for limit.

I just signed up with NDB yesterday, so I can't attest to how reliable their service is or how good their fills are.

I guess when the commissions get as low as they are at deep-discounters, such as ETrade, NDB, Waterhouse, etc, the dollar amounts aren't nearly as important as the speed of execution and reliability.

Good luck,

Kevin
