2/8     I'm looking at various online brokerages.  Which ones are all of you
        using and why?  Any I should avoid?  I'm mostly doing stock trades
        but not hyper active minute by minute day trading.  Thanks!
        \_ http://www.gomez.com  They give ratings to them.
           Personally, E*trade seems the most balanced.
          \_ ask tom and aaron how much they love etrade --oj
                \_ Or ask me.  They've got incompetent customer service.
                   E-Trade sucks the sweat off a dead man's balls. -mogul
                \_ etrade sucks..."money goes in but it don't come out" -tom
                        \_ it's called "re-investment," twink.
                         \_ No, it's called "2 months+ to transfer out" --oj
          \_ Etrade has current deal with Microcenter:  open Etrade and get a
             $300 coupon @ Microcenter.  See

             \_ How does ETrade afford that?  There are long lines in the
                Santa Clara store every weekend since November.  (The rebate
                used to be $400.) -- yuen
                \_ Volume?  :)  Yes, the rebate lowered at start of Feb.
                \_ I use schwab. Okay I know, some ppl think it sucks and
                   very expensive but I was getting some Delta Airlines miles
                   back then (the offer has expired). But their website seems
                   to be pretty good. TD Waterhouse is also equally good.
                   \_ I had schwab while I was at Cal, but after graduating
                      I switched to National Discount Brokers (http://www.ndb.com
                      They are pretty good and their prices are cheaper than
                      schwab. They also have check writing for your money market
                      account, wire transfer with your bank's checking account,
                      and the largest selection of no-load mutual funds.
        \_ Has anyone traded with Datek?  Advice, suggestions, experience,
           etc.?  Thanks -dans
        \_ Motley Fools run a website that has a Review of various online
           discount brokerages. They also maintain a message board
           specifically for this purpose, where you will learn that:
           a) Suretrade SUCKS b) E-Trade can SUCK too sometimes, etc.

        \_ A VC wants to keep as much of the stock for themselves (and give
           as little to employees as possible).  That maximizes their return.
