I like Fidelity too. For all the times I hear about other people's brokerages, with delaying their "tradeable" money for various reasons, and their unwillingness to dabble in pink stocks, etc....Fidelity's a great deal, for 7.95 a trade, and a small annual fee. The only holdup sometimes, is the 3 day "settlement" rule, and that is an SEC rule anyway. Certainly, when I sell a stock, that money is instantly available, for buying something new. I hear a lot of problems with that, with other brokerages. For the 30-40 prospectuses they "remail" to me every year(some the size of a telephone book), along with their help on the phone at any/all hours, I think it's a great deal. And I do all of my actions, within an IRA account, so I have no capital gains or taxation hassles, for the moment. Even though they've been rising in popularity, and are rated pretty highly, I don't think they will be able to do all of these things so cheaply in the near future, and will have to raise their "fees" on people like me, or stop handling pinkies soon........JMO.
