Re: EXCHANGE FEES

Add-on fees seem to be whatever they think they can charge and is a big
source of rip-offs ... big variation from one firm to another, one exchange
to another, and even one customer to another. $2-3 bucks is typical at the
majors, I've heard of some brokers charging fees as high as $9. Personally,
I insist on commission rate which is all inclusive which means no additional
charges.
