Hi Robin,

My accounts are with Schwab, but if you plan to use margin, I would not
recommend them. I can't count the number of times their maintenance
requirement on a highly liquid stock priced in the high teens or low
twenties, and optionable to boot, was 100%. I have complained, and the only
time I won, it took me over four months of barraging them with emails, as
well as contact from the company I was trying to buy on margin, before they
finally were willing to margin it. Their excuses, in my opinion, were pure
B.S.

I'm looking to (re)open an online trading account.
My original account was with eTrade, and I guess I
could go back to them. Have also looked at Datek/Ameritrade,
as well as Schwab's online service (CyberTrader Pro looks
REALLY REALLY cool... but I'm not sure I'm ready for
something that requires a 228 page manual....) Is
the additional research you can get through Schwab
worth it? Any feedback would be appreciated.
