<<Na...not really embittered. I just feel like in most cases if people search hard enough they will find a low cost broker that doesn't jam up or leave you hanging on the line for 20 minutes. I can buy 1000 shares of dell for about 125.00. For an 1/8 commission I'd rather pay a guy that I know, trust and is local. I love the net but I think it's stealing some of the community relationships that one should have and build upon. Now if my broker said pay me $2000 for the trade I'd feel different. I was burned once by online trading and swore it would never happen again.>> Your post <<quit complaining about what a lousy experience others are supposedly having".>> See the above post was my experience....not others. <<quit whining>> Not whining just pointing out my experience. IMHO online trading is unreliable and in the long run ends up costing people more in blown transactions than does a regular broker.
