Thanks Tina, does Scottrade have RT b/a on pinkies? I used to have a free RT streamer from them and really liked it. What about charting? If you do not know, I can check that part out myself. I forgot all about them. I am also worried about getting with one of these that won't trade a stock like FRGY (for example). I kept hearing about some of our fellow students having that problem. I guess it might make sense to keep some funds available in my current account as a backup just in case I have that problem.
