Supervisor regarding a possible wavier of their new commission policy (see below for more details). To make a long story short, I had an amicable conversation in which I informed him that I would like to have their new policy waved. This was based on the fact that YTD I have generated over $17,000 in 'on-line' commission and over $60,000 since 1997. He indicated that he saw my frequency of trading and appreciated my business BUT said that he could not do anything to help.

I also indicated that I have been in contact with several of you (from these two forums) who have also expressed disappointment with their new policy. Without trying to speak for others, I said that the impression that I got from those conversations was that they too would be looking to close their accounts with Fidelity. He said, "well, we appreciate your business but if that is what you need to do....". The conversation ended shortly thereafter and now I am getting back to you.

This would be similar to Fidelity's Fox+ software vs their Webexpress. I know a lot of you did not like their Fox+ program but, in my opinion, it was a hell of a lot better than their slow and cumbersome Webexpress. I guess I will be checking with all the big boys: Vanguard, Scudder, DLJ, Datek, Brown, and Schwab etc. Any suggestion?
