Are there some other rating firms besides Bearruns and Keynote.com ? That manage ongoing web rating ? There must be oodles , but who knows which is most objective . I like NDB as a stock but I don't use them yet as a broker, though they let you do some research on there account . JBOH is another...probably the best bet. Schwab(slow but sure as can be) is where the money really is but they don't let you have it yet. MWD ...Discover gets the job done.that's it ! Scot...fast. Ameritrade simple. EGRP.fun. I like em.

Gizelle, One of the problems with the Barrons survey is that it was based in part on the Gomez survey. One of the crietria for Gomez was that the broker be regsitered in all 50 states and have a browser-based version. Some states require the brokerage to be in business for three years. Because Watley has been around a long time and offers a browser-based version, it gets mentioned. While CyBerCorp's brokerage divisionIt would be very interested to see a study on execution speed. CyBerX and CyBerTrader are very fast and the customer service speaks for itself on the thread. But it is, however, more appropriate for very active investors because of the data fees and commissions. We also have direct access links to six ECNs, after we add BRUT next week, more than anybody else in the industry You'll be seeing a hearing about us a lot more in the coming weeks as we take on additional strategic partners and roll out a national ad campaign. The infrastructure is now in place. Holt
