Jeff--

My name is Danialle Weaver and I am a freelance writer who contributes to
the CyberInvesting column of the Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition.
Occasionally, Ira would post queries from me to your list, and  I was
wondering if you'd be kind enough to do so for me also.

I'm testing out a theory that there are three kinds of investors:
advice-hungry (beginners and high-net worth individuals) who gravitate
toward full-service brokers, information-hungry (market-savvy individuals
and some novices) who seek value-added info, who use chat rooms and bbs
services who gravitate toward discount brokerages, and transaction-hungry
(individuals with significant trading experience and high risk tolerance)
who gravitate toward deep-discount brokers.)

I am looking for folks to interview for my story who believe they fall into
one of these categories to tell me which brokerages they favor and why. I
would need to talk to them by May 12. Typically, this would require
revealing the interviewee's real name, age, occupation and hometown,
although other arrangements can be made with sources as warranted. My editor
also requires me to talk on the phone (at least once, however briefly) with
investors, so that we can be more certain you're not a 10-year-old
masquerading as a stock trader.

If your folks would like to check me out first, please have them point their
browsers to http://www.bigfoot.com/~danialle (no trailing slash and watch
the spelling). This page has a bio, resume, photo and numerous stories I've
written before.

Thanks for your consideration.
