Jeff,
I guess you take the website information as being all that
is available. You have to rely on the legal/financial system
to have a brokerage behave in certain standard ways.
For $7.95 per trade commission we should expect a truly
"no frills" approach. If you're not comfortable with this
and want someone to talk to, contact Fidelity or Schwab.
Obviously when you get to contact a human there, the price
will be a bit higher (Fidelity can charge as little as $14.95
per trade).

RT's:
Did anyone else see the article on Internet/Web brokers?
Suretrade was ranked significantly below Discover and
Datek. The criteria that outnumbered cost include
order execution, ease of use and research. Since I am
planning to leave Fidelity which has just slightly better
execution score than Suretrade (I ignore the better research
score because I have many sources elsewhere), would I not
choose Datek? (Discover got a slighly higher rating on
research and the fuzzy criterion "reliability/range" so
I knock it out due to the $15 commissions)
Other opinions?
Pete
P.S. the article said if you need to talk to a live broker
at times DLJDirect (fourth place) and Waterhouse (6th place).
