size=-1>Are you trading stocks online yet? 
<P>Thought so. You and millions of others. The number of U.S. households using 
online brokers has risen from 2.7 million in May 1999 to 3.5 million in January 
of this year, <B>a 30% jump</B>, according to J.D. Power and Associates. 
<P>With so many people trading, your Net broker better be fast or you'll find a 
new one. 
<P>If you're going through Ameritrade, speed at the home page is no problem. 
It's the clear winner in this week's performance war among online brokers, 
according to exclusive data from the Keynote/AnchorDesk Consumer 40 Internet 
Performance Index (see below). 
<P>In fact, not only did Ameritrade beat the rest of the brokers, for the first 
time since the inception of the <A 
href="http://www.keynote.com/measures/consumer/consumer40.html"; <A>Keynote 
Consumer 40</A> last fall, Ameritrade even beat Yahoo among all sites in the 
index. 
<P>
