I read your last article in the series. Regardless of what you say in the rest of the series, your conclusions highlight your inability to grasp the basic reason your "readers" would be looking at a direct access broker in the first place. Cheers.

So these certain Barron's readers don't consider quality execution to be a the determining factor in going with a direct access broker? What do you think the point of a "direct access" broker is??? If they don't need quality execution send them to Schwab or Waterhouse. Scary. No...

I don't think I've EVER seen a really good review in the media of direct access brokers. Most of them suck up to the national firms for ad dollars, or are clueless as to the importance of reliability, and quality of execution. Turn the list upside down and it makes alot of sense though LOL
