I've used internet exclusively for 3+ years with futures and longer with
stocks. Bottom line is pay for a broker with strong phone support!!! I have
used LFG (futures) for years and I could cut my commissions by 2/3 switching
to cheapest broker but LFG always picks up the phone when my internet
connection or software breaks and I can always get my order taken care off
.. WELL WORTH THE FEW DOLLARS EXTRA!!
