I have gotten together some of the data I need to
do my comparisons. Before actually deciding
which firm to use, be sure to request their forms and READ THEM
CAREFULLY. All Commissions I have listed are for orders up
to 5000 Shares (additional fees may be charged over that number
of shares). Date in ( ) is when I last checked out the site. Indicates what I
consider to be *BEST VALUE*
Waterhouse
Minimum Account $5000.00. Following all for up to 5000 Shares:
$12.00 on line (WARNING: this is a *TEASER RATE* only good until
10/98 ); $35.00 Touch tone phone; $45.00 Human.
(7/30/97) DELAYED Quotes. POOR Charts. Be prepared for a LONG WAIT at their toll-free
number to call to activate the account (I was on HOLD FOR
20 MINUTES).
WARNING: There is
also a potential *hidden* fee - read the agreement carefully -
$5/month charge if % of trades done on-line/touch tone is lower
than regular phone trades. Also you can incur a fee if your
account balance falls below $5000 (watch
out for falling markets if you are close to that limit).
Discover
Brokerage Direct (Formerly Lombard)
Great Charts!
Market Orders: 14.95 Limit
Orders: 19.95 (Listed & OTC - via Internet or
Instatrade Phone) "Registereed Visitors" can get
delayed quotes (15 Min.), charts, and other info. Account Holders
can set up "Baskets" (5 maximum) containing 10
securities each which will be updated every 2 minutes. Being
bought out by Dean Witter - Don't know if anything will
change.(1/15/97)
Datek
Securities
Market & Limit Orders: $9.99 (NY
and NASDAQ ONLY). If order is marketable
and not executed in 1 minute - NO COMMISSION. Account
Minimum is $2000. You can still sign up for an account (and fill
out the appropriate exchange forms) and get REAL TIME QUOTES (only 1
at a time) and not send any $$$ - you just can't buy or sell
unless you have "activated" your account with $$$ or
Securities. If you want to talk to a human to place an order -
$25.00 Commission. (1/15/97)

NOTE: You could get Trapped in their Frames! I encounter a
browser problem when trying to use my "Back Button" to
return to a previous site - they just won't let you leave once
you get there. They may have a problem with their Frames set-up.
