I want to be the first to post here!
Greg,asdfdf,Tastychap,Ftex,..........thank you
for sharing your experiances on discount brokers. I'm
going to take your advice and do some "comparison
shopping" on fees. I pulled my BRK file to check just what
I was actually paying. My last purchase was 170
shares of "B" @ $2245. My broker charged me $223.94
commission plus $3.00 in "handling fee". This came to $1.34
a share, which I thought was pretty
good.......especially for something as valuble as a share of BRK.
Apparently from Greg's post I could have done this for
$29.00 thru Shwab which is a huge cost savings. I'll
have to check it out..............In the words of
Tastychap........."May the WEB force be with you
guys"...............BoboP.S. Talk about being a cheapskate ! ............as I
sit here typing this I've got a hole in my right boot
that my little toe practically sticks thru. I've got
dirt and grease all over me from working out in the
barn all morning trying to get a 40 year old Allis
Chalmers tractor to start ...............and I'm on the
computer trying to figure out how I can save a buck on the
most expensive stock there is !! The beat goes
on...........
