Their spreads are worse than anywhere else and whenever you place a market order you will be immediately given a "requote" at a price worse than what is being quoted. You'll then be given 5 seconds to decide. If you decline, you go through the whole process again. No such thing as getting a market order done with them. They are the "Scalp the customer" kings of brokers. Stay away from CMC Markets.

The last Goldman fall helped me make a lot money with my puts but I retained Apple for the longer term, I think it has longer term potential. Thanks for your educational posts and please wirte more.

TD Waterhouse was merged intoTD Ameritrade and I am very happy with them. Their website, recently updated is thorough and any problems are quickly addressed. They also try to get a client the best price on a trade. Their fees are very low especially for a active or substantial client. My only fault with them is now their telephone service is poor. Cost of purchasing No-Load mutual funds is rather high. I used Jack White and when they were bought out by TD Waterhouse I used them.

Besides being fast and powerful, their trading platform (and website design) is actually nice to look at. I'd give em 5/5. I use thinkorswim, and like them very much.
