Best Discount Broker?
01/07/2006
Some argue that Brown & Company is the
best discount broker. The point is now moot for most investors.
Brown & Co. has been acquired by E*Trade and is no longer
accepting new customers. New customers will pay E*Trade's
higher commission rates.
Existing Brown & Co. customers have
no worries. Current customers will be able to open additional
accounts at Brown & Co. and will stay at the current commission
level ($5 per stock trade).
A discussion of the discount brokers that
we recommend can be found in our Quick
Guide to Getting Started.
