globaltrader - let me make myself perfectly clear. I do NOT work for freetradez.com and am not associated with them in any way except I signed up as a customer. Do not make assumptions. You know as much as I do about the company.

The FreeTradez brokerage is about ready to launch !! --------------------------------------------- http://www.freetradez.com "Monday June 26th, 8:40am est - Everything is a go. The non-flash site should be up and running - including account forms as well as other updates - later on...

The website http://www.freetradez.com has been updated recently. The launch for this new online broker is June 19, 2000. Given that there are no commissions and no payment for order flow, it appears that there is a strong profit potential on stock trades. Risk is minimized as well. For example...
