If you are only interested in good, reliable execution at a low commission, then give 
Brown and Co a call or visit their website at www.brownco.com. I've been w/ them forever 
and have had more "good" surprises than "bad". You can get realtime quotes over the 
phone or thru their website. 

If you're looking for a place to do research, etc though, they aren't for you. 

My only gripe is that a couple times when I wanted to short a stock, they weren't able 
to get it.  

No affiliation. Just a satisfied customer.
