Re: [RT] Silence at RT

["RB" <rhodes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 I hope this list stays alive.  When I 
first joined, many years ago, it was probably the best list that I was 
on.
 I have a question for all realtraders about 
brokers.  Mainly Scottrade, but would like to hear about others 

 I have been with Schwab for a few 
years.  I am now looking at going to an over all lower cost 
brokerage.  I will mainly be using ETF's.   No daytrading 
etc.  Mainly I guess an investor-trader.  :-)
  I would like to know, how Scottrade compares 
to  Brown&Co. as far as commissions, margin, Account Maintenance Fees 
and any other fees.  Also info about other brokers you use as far as all 
fees.
 On browns site they compare themself to some 
brokers, but not Scottrade or some other brokers like IB, freetrade, 
tradingdirect, speedtrader, nobletrading, globaltradz, mbtrading, xoomtrade, 
choicetrade, among other discount brokers.  
 Rigt now, I am leaning towards going with 
Brown&Co. but want to check out all options.
 Below is browns site where they compare a few 
brokerages on fees.

 Any opinions on any of the above brokers 
etc., especialy about all fees would be helpfull.
 
 Thanks,

  I surmise that many of the original contributors, who made the RT list 
  valuable as a trading list, left the list during last year's spring/summer 
  melee. Clyde's summary of posting activity clearly shows that the list 
  maintained a posting rate pretty well north of 500 for 3 years. Since then, 
  the activity has pretty much held at under 200.
   
  During February I posted analysis' of both the SPX and US$ which 
  evoked little or no interest from the list. In short, the list will have to 
  get a new life.

    Hi,
     
    Can someone tell me what is happening to 
    RealTraders?
     
    I have not received messages from members of 
    the group since the last post of 2004/02/25, which preceded my post of 
    2004/02/26.
     
    While I am accustomed to having my opinions 
    ignored, I do not understand the reason for silence.  The best I can 
    make of this silence is that the market is at a potential turning point but 
    has not yet determined its direction, and that as a consequence, the gurus 
    who contribute to RT are either biding their time or finding nothing in the 
    market worth commenting upon.
     
    In short, I would appreciate knowing why the 
    tread has become bare.
     
    Tony
