I agree. Schwab's execution on limit trades, etc. has more than paid for higher commission rates for me. Also StreetSmart Pro is a great trading machine, though a little buggy at times and requires logging out and back in.
Hi D2, yes I just switched to Schwab and am very happy with every thing, except the price. Im still paying $29.95 per trade and hope to gey that down soon. But your right, cheapest is not always the best.
D2 I ditto your comments on Schwab and the StreetSmart trading system. Quite often, when buying, they get me my shares at the bid. This can add up and more than compensate for the higher trade cost.
