Just so that all of you know there are alternatives to discount brokers, I have ALWAYS used a full service broker, despite much larger commissions on transactions. I had thought that maybe, since I do my own research, I really could use a discount broker. However, your experience suggests I should remain with Smith Barney and make money the old fashioned way. While their commissions are higher, I get brilliant executions, with the best prices you could imagine on both day or good-till-cancelled orders. I invest mainly for the long term, so the commission per order is much less important to me than the price I get.
