| I've used TD Waterhouse for a long time. Scottrade seems to be getting the votes though. |

(Not to take you down or anything, but)
Those broker comparissons that are provided by the broker are usually heavily biased to emphasize any advantage it has over others.
I've seen this a lot with brokers I wouldn't even consider opening accounts with, but they make it seem like their services are the best. I don't blame them (how else are they going to attract people) but it does make it more difficult to figure out what's best. |

No offense taken.
I hoped to find more comparisons, but this is all I found so far. I'm sure they modify them so it makes them come out the best, but if everone has one you could get a clear picture.
The mighty fool.com has an "unbias" comparison.
It's 4 brokers. Ummm...here you go...choose from these 4 brokers out of the 20 or more out there. Really, please use one of these so we get our commission...thanks. |

E*Trade is buying Harris Direct.  That make me mad... I left E*Trade because of some of their pricing policies, and now they're taking over my current broker.
