Hi Bill: While all of the on-line brokerages have their own quirks, E*Trade strikes a nice balance between services, speed, reliability and cost.
At times I want to strangle them, but at 13.99 to 19.99 per trade Etrade usually beats a broker - especially for day-traders or quasi-day-traders.
The one caveat is that you retain your broker as a back-up for extremely time-sensitive buys, or IPOs etc. E*Trade offers live brokers via phone, too - but you could miss the millennium celebration while they have you on hold.

Regards,
Wally

<OT> Bill, I have used DLJ Direct for over 2 years and have never even considered switching online brokers. Rapid execution, and $20.00 per trade. A few weeks back Barron's did a nice piece on customer's satisfaction with many aspects of the e-brokers, and DLJ Direct came in first. The online system is easy to use and their reliability is of high quality. I would recommend them in a minute.

Best Regards,

MT
